   I don't think so because of the timing.  Sirius tells the trio 
that Mundungus has been banned from the Hog's Head twenty years ago.

   Dumbledore tells Harry that, "On a cold wet night sixteen years 
ago," is when he heard the prophecy from Trelawney.  By these two 
facts, I don't think Mundungus is the one that overheard the 
prophecy that night.
