Hi!
Nose to Nose means very very close... almost close enough for your nose to be touching another person's nose.

Could it also mean that the were put in so the same part was together? That is, "nose to nose" instead of "nose to tail."

Typically nose to nose means proximity... being really close or lined up exactly.

Maybe if you gave me some of the sentence before and after this one I would understand the author's intention better.
