Where/whose bags are

[Alexey86]

Hello! Suppose, I’m standing in a room full of bags scattered around. Some of these belong to my friends, but I can’t tell which of the bags are my friends', and where exactly each of these is in the room. In my native language I can say the phrase that can be literally translated into English as "I don't know where whose bags are." Is there any concise phrase in English to describe such situations? Of course I can say, "I don't know where your/their bags are," but it wouldn't provide the same meaning, since I know the bags are in the room, and I'm even seeing them right now but can't distinguish my friends' ones from the rest.

I don't know whose bags are whose.

Or to stay closer to the Russian, I don't know whose bags are where. "Which bags are whose" works, too.
