Doubtful.  The SVD is not unique in the sense that
any U*S*V' = A, within roundoff of A, is a correct 
solution.

One can search the archives of comp.soft-sys.matlab
and find a posting by Cleve Moler ( Matlab creator,
linear algebra guru, etc. ) stating as much.  Try
looking for 'SVD' about two years ago.
