I do not think so. The resultant of the vectors is in the direction that they roll. There is no way that the magnitude of the vectors would be the forward/reverse vector because then the vectors that composed it would have to be at 45 degrees which would mean strafing motion would be impossible.
This is what the vectors of a mecanum wheel look like.
