" Of course everyone has a particular relationship with the Lord, and that relationship is evoked by the perfection of devotional service. But in the present status of our life, not only have we forgotten the Supreme Lord, but we have forgotten our eternal relationship with the Lord. Every living being, out of the many, many billions and trillions of living beings, has a particular relationship with the Lord eternally. That is called svarupa. By the process of devotional service, one can revive that svarupa, and that stage is called svarupa-siddhi- perfection of one's constitutional position. "
Introduction
Bhagavad-gita As It Is
If one has not revived his or her own svarupa, it is not possible to identify anyone.
When Lord Ramacandra broke the bow of Lord Siva in the svayamvar of Sita then Lord Parasurama became greatly upset and could not understand Who broke the bow, it took a while for Lord Parasurama to understand Who Lord Ram was. In fact it was only when the great pride of Lord Parasurama was cut by Lord Ram, Lord Parasurama came to His senses by the grace of Lord Ram. Now, Lord Parasurama is not an ordinary soul. We can only imagine how difficult it is for an ordinary jiva to realize his or her svarupa. Therefore, Srila Prabhupada makes it clear in the Introduction of Bhagavad-gita that svarupa-siddhi is possible only with the perfection of bhakti.

In general, they have very respectful dealings and do not reveal themself or other person as Supreme Lord. But there are always exceptions.
When Lord Sri Ramachandra met Sri Parashurama, Sri Ramachandra was very respectful, but Parashurama was in an angry mood and challenged for battle . But this was also a pastime to glorify Sri Rama chandra. Sri Parashumrama would kill Kshatriyas, but He could not defeat Sri Ramachandra. This was an indication that Sri Rama was not any ordinary Kshatriya.
Lord Sri Krishna and Arjuna travel through coverings of material universe to meet Sri Karanodakaaayi Vishnu or Sri Maha Vishnu. They recognize Mahavishnu as Supreme Lord and bow down.
But in most cases they do not reveal themself or another Lord. But they are able to identify that it is Supreme Lord.
1. Sri Krsna and Sri Balarama would not reveal their own or each other's identity. Best example is when Lord Brahma took away gopas and calves, Lord Sri Krsna personally expanded as gopas and calves. Balarama was not taken away by Lord Brahma. So for almost one year Sri Krsna played role of many cows and gopas. Even Balarama could not recognize that it is Sri Krsna that is playing role of many gopas and calves. Towards they end of one year, but a few days before Lord Brahma returned gopas and calves, Lord Balarama realized that it is Sri Krsna who has expanded as many gopas and calves. Balarama was very surprised enquired from Sri Krsna about it. but not to anyone else.
2. There is one instance where Lord Srinivasa meets Lord Sri Varaha one-to-one. They have some kind of a lease/rent agreement for Lord Srinivasa to reside in what we now know as Thirumala hills. The seven hills were previously presided by Lord Varaha. At request of Lord Srinivasa, Lord Varaha allows Lord Srinivasa to reside on those hills.
