Yes. There are well-known differences in stress patterns between UK and US English: for example UK DIStributed and US diSTRIbuted, laBORatory and LAbratory, [i]conTROversy and CONtroversy. It seems to affect words of Greco-Latinate origin of over three syllables. I'll try to find some online references.
