I swapped a 2020 Macbook Pro 13” screen that had a dent with my older 2018 Macbook Pro 13” screen that was in good condition. Neither screen works on the opposite computer. Only an external display works. Before I go through the trouble of swapping them back are they not compatible with each other?
Is this a good question?

Yep! Square peg round hole problem!
The displays are not swappable! The newer display offers TrueTone to alter both the camera and displays color which uses a different signaling.
To add to that your 2020 system requires a used display as a virgin display wouldn’t have had its display calibrated so it would require access to the calibration tool which only Apple has access to.
The still newer M series systems now require an Apple supplied display as the display is now serialized to the logic board (married)
