Different observation points at opposite ends of the diameter of the earth might give miniscule differences in the aspect of the moon that can be seen, but I'd reckon it's infinitesimal as the moon is generally over 356,000 kilometres away. That said I do know because of the effects of libration more than 50 percent of the near side of the moon can be seen from the earth, but it's over a month rather than the couple of days involved.. I'm sure there's someone on this list who can explain it better.
