No. These are different species of kangaroo, and kangaroos do not breed with other species.

The grey kangaroo consist of two species which will not breed with one another - eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) and western grey kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus). Neither of them breeds with the red kangaroo (Macopus rufus).
