No, because 302 redirects convey a different intention. Using a 301 is like moving house and giving your new address to everyone you know. Using a 302 is like setting up a temporary redirect order with your post office, e.g. because you're on vacation and want your mail forwarded to your hotel.

While this test doesn't mean we can never revert the changes, the redirects are supposed to be real long-term redirects. Otherwise we couldn't test what effect permanent redirects have - our test results would be meaningless.
