Several counterparts of Earths One and Two have had opportunity to meet, such as members of twin teams the Justice League and Justice Society... such as the Supermen, the Green Lanterns, the Atoms, the Hawkmen, the Robins, and of course the Flashes. This occured not just during their annual meetings with the respective groups, but also individually when the need arose. However, several dopplegangers nearly met, but not quite.
Two such examples (in the accompanying picture) are Firestorm and Vulcan Son of Fire... as well as Black Lightning and Amazing-Man. Onboard the Monitor's universe-travelling satellite, all four of these men were nearby. In the bottom left panel, you'll note atop it is Black Lightning, and just below him is Amazing-Man. And next to Lightning, is Firestorm.
Interestingly, Firestorm's girlfriend and partner Firehawk was nearby that lad's cosmic twin, Vulcan... in the bottom right panel. And previous to this, in the interdimensional void known as Limbo, both Firestorm and Vulcan were prisoners in that realm for a brief period simultaneously, though never met up!
Another pair who briefly yet indirectly encountered one another was the Enemy Ace known as Rittmeister Hammer and the Mystery Man known as Doctor Mid-Nite. One was a hurter, the other a healer, yet both were noble men who yearned for justice to triumph over tyranny. Although VonHammer was a couple decades older than McNider, they both had opportunity to meet in their prime was clad in their goggled alter egos, although regrettably as adversaries.
The Lord of Time devised the mechanized Eternity Brain to allow him to stop the flow of time in order to rule infinity. However, an unintended consequence would be the destruction of all realty in Earth-One's universe. In order to defeat his greatest creation, Lord plucked five historical heroes from various eras, including the Enemy Ace, forcing them to battle the Justice League and Justice Society during one of their annual meetings. Those superheroes left unaffected by those five heroes' chronal-energized weaponry... which had a similar effect on the human nervous system as had Mid-Nite's cryotuber weapon... were motivated to track those time-lost legends with the goal of reversing their teammates' comatose condition. And during an initial battle, Rittmeister Hammer and Doctor Mid-Nite faced one another on opposite sides. Once the Time Lord's mechanical brain was destroyed and reality saved, these two men along with the others returned to their native time periods.
