How Exeter's damage differed from Sydney's

Was Exeter's damage at the River Plate comparable to Sydney's?

Exeter's damage was mainly above the waterline, with turrets out of action but the hull structurally safe.

Exeter provides an example of a badly damaged cruiser surviving, but her hull remained structurally intact. The damage mainly affected exposed parts of the ship and disabled turrets. That limits how far her passage to the Falklands can explain Sydney's final loss.
