Hello Julian!
Yes, it would be great to have these icons in Tangerine. It would be 
great to get rid of the current icon. I've made some small tweaks to the 
icon, like adding a box behind it, in order to make the connection 
between Add/Remove applications and the update-notifier more clear. I've 
also made the icon green to make it more positive, as red might be seen 
as "warning, dangerous stuff ahead!", when most of the time a system 
update is something good (like plunging a security hole in firefox and 
similar stuff).
Here are a tar.gz with the changes:

If you are happy with these modifications, I'll push it into Tangerine 
as soon as possible.
