I thought the same first, however, from what I read on the definition of scoping graph in SPARQL Query,
I am afraid we can't do that:

"If DS is the dataset of a query, pattern solutions are therefore understood to be not from the active graph of DS itself, but from an RDF graph, called the scoping graph, which is graph-equivalent to the active graph of DS but shares no blank nodes with DS or with BGP."

this seems to disallow explicitly, that the blank nodes identifiers remain the same. That's why I suggested - for update - 
to use skolemisation and de-skolemisation, which should allow us to use the definitions of pattern solutions from Query just 'as is'. 

best,
