The strikers are set to face each other in Saturday’s Premier League match at Loftus Road and Dyche feels changing attitudes in football could see the former non-league players represent their country in the future.
QPR forward Austin has scored seven times in 13 games this season to make him the joint-top English goalscorer in the top-flight along with West Brom's Saido Berahino, who recently received a call-up to England’s senior squad.
Ings has also started to impress in his first season in the Premier League having found the target for Burnley three times in November.
He also scored twice for the England U21s at Turf Moor last month and the pair are being talked of as future members of national manager Roy Hodgson's senior set-up.
"There have been similar stories," said Dyche.
"There was a time when you wouldn't have thought Kevin Davies would have got in there so late. (Rickie) Lambert has got in there late, so it is changing.
"The viewpoint on football is changing. It's about form, and player availability can come into it as well."
