R2D2 and C3PO are both very common style droids... C3PO may have been built
by Anakin, but once he gets his coverings on he looks like any other
protocol droid. R2 is just an astromech unit. Since they are not "organic"
life forms they have no real "mind" that Vader or any force sensitive being
could read. Therefore, it's highly unlikely that Vader would recognize them.
If you remember, C3PO *DID* get 'destroyed' in ESB, even though Vader had
very little to do with it. Besides, even if Vader did recognize them, they
really aren't relevant because the droids are basically harmless. Anything
the droids might know about Vader's identity is irrelevant... Vader has
nothing to hide, he reveals himself to Luke anyway.
Of course, the real reason behind the interaction (or lack thereof) between
Vader and the droids is that Lucas probably didn't come up with the
"Anakin-building-3PO" thing until a couple of years ago... well after the
original movies were already completed anyway.
