 The JPG in the header of NEF files is just an 'approximate rendering' of how/what the camera thinks the image should render if it had used JPG. This is purely down to the way that Nikon have decided that the sensor and its electronics interact.
I think that Nikon unlike Canon try to render in a 'neutral' a la Ektachrome way rather than in a Canon (brighter than life) a la Fuji Velvia way!!

When you look at Canon RAW files they look very neutral as well. :-)
The real rendering is as you render them with adjustments in the RAW processing software.


I think if you want them to look identical on the backs of the camera then you may need to profile the cameras and upload the respective profile to each camera. Seems like a lot of work to me.
