I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.

No because they are different works.

The encoding of the same sounds will have different representations  
as streams of numbers. Therefore they are different works, both  
derivatives of the original recording or of the score if there is one.

MP3: 451365247426123624562467234
WAV: 985672485629581305487135713

Different derivatives of the same original (and if the MP3 is just a  
derivative of the WAV the same applies).
