@wnealisr226 confirmed just yesterday with Rivian employee at the Chicago R2 Block Party event that R1 and R2 crossbars are not compatible:
"I also asked if the R1 crossbars (since they are currently on sale in the Gear Shop) would fit on the R2 and was told no, they would not." (link to his post)

I haven't seen many looks at what the R2's cargo underfloor storage space can fit, but looks like it can fit a lot -- yes, that's a child's body in there to size up the space!
