Yes. Gorbag and Shagrat showed some real camaradarie. Reminiscing about the good old das pillaging and terrorizing. They might indicate orcs more in their "natural" state (sans Sauron) happy to organize and respecting their own chums. Sort of like the Great Goblins crowd (the book, not the Hobbit movie travesty of their depiction and town). Think of Gorbag and Shagrat as Tolkien's Rosenkratz and Gildenstern.
