They did it at least once:  Beecham's NYPhil rec of Strauss' Don Quixote.
Issued by Victor in the USA and Columbia in England.  Probably a contractual thing, NYPhil to Victor, Beecham to UK Columbia.  There are other Beecham examples [the Sibelius Society and a couple of others]  where one recorded something and the other issued it; tho' admittedly this was EMI and not US.  Keeps collectors' lives interesting!
