Nope. Both show size in blocks [1]. It seems proper to do so in ls alone, with a flag of whether to add sizes of all files below; thus we could drop du. One may argue that the job of ls is not to add sizes, but now we have 2 utilities what list files, which loses. [1] http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=(ls, du)
