erm..... no!!! It jsut all depends on the pregnancy etc, doesnt mean they have to look identical. I have a non-identical twin sister but people aways mistake us for being identical.

I think that identical is when one embryo splits into 2 and non-identical is when there are 2 embryos. It's not to do with looking identical as identical is usually mirror imaged I think
