Does the T-1000 know that the “big guy on a bike†is a T-800 before he meets him?

In the movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), after the terminators had arrived from the future to 1995, they are both trying to acquire John Connor.
The T-1000 arrives at John Connor's address and interrogates his foster parents:
Janelle: There was a guy here this morning looking for him too.
Todd: Yeah, a big guy on a bike, has that got something to do with this?
T-1000: No. I wouldn't worry about him.
At this point, is there any evidence that the T-1000 knows that this "big guy" is a T-800, or is he just confident he can handle anyone else aiming to acquire John?

The script confirms that, at the very least, the T-1000 (in the script as "Officer X") has a very good idea as to who the previous visitor was...
JANELLE
There was a guy here this morning asking about
him, too.
TODD
Yeah, big guy. On a bike. Has that got
something to do with it?
Officer X registers the significance of that. He realizes who the
big guy must be. He smiles. Reassuringly shakes his head no.
It seems implicit from this that the T-1000 was fully aware of the previous Terminator.

There's nothing that can prove that, it's never shown to us in the movie. Although:
He could have figured out: "If I'm here and the resistance sent someone too, this time it might be a captured T-800 adapted to protect John Connor".
The script shows that during the interview with Connor's foster parents "He (the T-1000) realizes who the big guy must be." Perhaps he just realized that it was Connor's protector, another human sent from the future, he might still not be aware the resistance had a T-800 on their side.

@OrangeDog nobody knows is a perfectly fine answer to a question. In fact, I have reasoned it on this site multiple times. But it should be backed up with sources/proof to make it an acceptable answer. Right now this answer stands as ones opinion & nothing more. It isn't backed up by anything & hence more suitable as a comment

@Luciano Scenario 1: "We don't know. Why? because I've seen the movies. Trust me". Scenario 2: "We don't know. Why? because I've seen the movies. I think we are not supposed to know because <insert opinionated reasoning> or I think your logic is wrong, I think <insert opinionated reasoning> should be how we should interpret it". This isn't Reddit. Scenario 1 isn't acceptable on SE. At least not to me. Anyways, I owed you a reason for VT delete. You/others may disagree. Its just 1 vote.

@KharoBangdo You can't prove a negative, so a referenced answer proving that T-1000 didn't know isn't possible. The closest we can get (and what Luciano has answered) is "There are no scenes that provide any information that he would know". There may be something in the novelisation, but that's probably out of scope for MT.SE. My question was vague in that I was asking whether he did know, which invites speculation, I've edited it to being about the film, which validates this answer. Also, using the phrase "Trust me." would be a nice reference and slightly more suitable for an answer about T2.
