Yes, both sentences are perfectly correct and very common when ordering food or drinks. You can use them interchangeably, but here is the tiny difference in how they 'feel' to a native speaker:
'Can I have one more of the same, please?'
This is slightly more specific. It emphasizes the quantity (exactly one). It is very polite and common in formal or semi-formal settings.
'Can I have another one of the same, please?'
This sounds a bit more natural and casual in everyday conversation. 'Another' implies you want an additional item of the same type you already have.
For Native Sounding English:
If you want to sound even more natural at a restaurant or bar, you can also use these shorter versions:
"I'll have the same again, please."
"Another one, please."
"One more, please.
