Yes, but by how much shorter depends the angle of your current stem.
By not reaching as low towards the bar, your torso will arc around a point where your backside touches the saddle, so hands moving up/around said arc, will bring your hands closer. Maybe try a cheap 90mm 17deg stem?
Both forks have a hole for a brake, so are likely to be taller/longer than the (track) fork the frame was designed around (can't be certain without measuring). That will further slacken the effective head angle of the frame. Still, 17deg is likely the closest available angle to 'flat' that you'll find without getting an adjustable stem.

@gretsch
so I would be looking at potentially, a slightly shorter stem.
I use either a alu fork off a fuji Track classic, or a BLB AF01, which I'm just not quite sure if I trust or not with the daily commute across london, I'm sure it's fine, but need it chopping down so hasn't been used for a while.
the position is ok on the negative rise, but it's already pretty short, as I find theTT on a pre cursa a bit much.
