As babies yes but as they grow they will become more aggressive and territorial. When they get some size to them they can do some serious damage in territorial fights so it's best to keep them separate or in a large pond.
 
I had a snapping turtle and I couldn't believe how fast it grew. I'd say yes if your filtration was extremely efficient but it'd probably last for less than six months before you'd need separate bigger tanks for each of them.

I agree with the above posts, when I was younger I tried to keep a 5" snapper with a similar sized red ear and had to immediately remove the snapper because of aggression.
 
I have one Common Snapper and he is probably one of my favorite animals I've kept. Snappers grow incredibly fast, eat like monsters, but if they are used to being held they will not snap (unless provoked). As the above have said, your snappers will eventually either need to be separated or put in a very large pond. They are very aggressive even towards turtles of the same size.

I don't know, but I have two in one tank, at first they were aggressive towards each other but now its fine.
