Joint carrier operations would share lessons across different designs

Would British and American carriers share damage-control practices during earlier joint Pacific operations?

Probably, although their different carrier designs mean lessons would need to be adapted rather than copied directly.

Earlier joint operations create strong incentives to exchange damage-control practice and operational lessons. The transfer is not one-to-one because British armored carriers and American carriers solve treaty-era design problems in different ways. A lesson rooted in one hull's arrangement would still need to be adapted to the ship that uses it. Later Implacable, Malta, and Midway designs are useful comparisons because they reveal what each navy pursued once treaty constraints loosened.
