While it may be less likely that both parents were unknown hets it is even more unlikely that you would see a case of a mosaic with regionalized alternating monoallelism happening so that you get patches that are entirely Albino/YB and patches that are entirely non-Albino/Ivory but no patches that are non-Albino/YB or Albino/Ivory

Superficially, yes it does not matter. But, if in all the other siblings there are no Fire or WT then the statistical odds of this one animal being from a different sire are much reduced. And if you can pin down the likely father then you can consider proving it out as het Albino at some later date.
