No. The zone data does not record where it came from, unless you put that information in on purpose. All of the listed NS records should serve the zone and one or more of them may allow AXFR from a host that it recognises as a valid secondary, but you don't know which (if any) of these was the primary. It could easily be none of them as a hidden primary server is a very common setup. The primary server need not even be on the public Internet or communicate by AXFR, as any method of getting the data to the secondary servers is valid. e.g. rsync, MySQL replication, smoke signals, … Would be a pretty big blow to hidden primary setup if you could find the primary from querying the DNS.
