Oh, I think the odds of that happening are very low. I'm not an elephant myself, but I have never been approached from faraway by a Chinaman dressed as a Maasai.

My guess is that the different diets of the two tribesmen may have an effect. What people eat can make them smell different and the elephants may be able to sense that.
