Not as far as I know. You need to build it yourself, since the old versions only contain the node ids. Also note that for each "version" of the way there can be many, um, "minor revisions" as each of the nodes can have N different versions of themselves. For the concept of a "full old way" it only makes sense to say "at this timestamp" instead of "at this way version number". The Potlatch previous versions dialog, for example, is all based on calculating the number of different states and giving timestamps for each.
