Probably not. Why would they both want to waste that kind of money when things are pretty tight right now?

Railroad locomotive cabs do NOT need to be "aerodynamic", since freight trains don't operated that fast. Ease of manufacture is MUCH more important.

Please remember that EMD uses capital letters in the prefix of their model designations, i.e. "SD70" series.
There are still CSXT or CSX locomotives in the two previous schemes, so they are not being too creative or fast with paint schemes.
The BNSF paint schemes over the past 20 years are all very similar and the new locomotives are being pressed into continuous service, so they will not be repainted unless they are rebuilt.
