Can Victor and Jaguar motors work together on a single gearbox?

That quick answer is not true.

The difference in voltage would have to be so large that the higher-voltage motor was driving the system at a speed exceeding the lower-voltage motor's free speed*. Not likely.

What actually happens is that the higher-voltage motor carries more of the load. It supplies more torque and power. So it tends to get hotter.

The lower-voltage motor is still generating torque and supplying power to the load as long as the speed is lower that that motor's free speed at that voltage.

* at its lower voltage
