Could be, could not be. There was already a Speedwagon Oil Company mentioned by Steel himself near the beginning of the arc, if it makes any differences. And some people theorize that Mountain Tim is Speedwagon's SBR counterpart.

If you ask me, apart from some obvious characters like Johnny and Diego, I don't think Araki consciously thought of which character is "meant" to be a counterpart of a previous character. Sometimes, it might just even be name similarities, like Lucy Steel's maiden name being Pendleton but not having any real connection to Erina aside from that (for one, Johnny marries Rina instead of Lucy, and Erina never obtains a Stand or has much of a role in the story like Lucy does).
