A claim put forth by some purveyors of health foods is that vitamins obtained from natural sources are more healthful than those obtained by chemical synthesis. For example, pure L‑ascorbic acid (vitamin C) extracted from rose hips is thought to be healthier than pure L‑ascorbic acid manufactured in a chemical plant. Are the vitamins from the two sources different? Can the body distinguish a vitamin's source?

The only difference that might distinguish the two is the presence of impurities such as byproducts or solvents used in the process of extraction or synthesis. However, "pure" implies that no such impurities are present.

No, the vitamins from two different sources are not different.

Body cannot distinguish a vitamin source.

Synthetic vitamins contain a much higher dose of nutrients than found in a normal food serving.
Synthetic vitamins are consumed through dietary supplements and fortified foods.
Other than this there is no such difference between the two.
