No, they have not. But the only site that mentions these two cup games is the one added to the Wikipedia site of the M23 derby:
http://www.statto.com/football/teams/brighton-and-hove-albion/head-to-head
I don't know how reliable that site is. No other site mentions these two cup games, but i guess they must be real

This , we loved the 3 points which mostly came our way
In them days it was 2 points for a win.

They are both listed in the Albion history book
Plucky point for relegation-threatened Albion today I thought. Let's hope brave Sami can keep us out of Div 3.

So sorry for that my mem aint that good but probley beforeyou were born
Your spelling isn't much better sunshine
Yep, everybody else calls it "the gay derby". Much better.
"The bummers derby" would be better. Naming a derby after a road just sounds like something crodo would say.

Thats because the teams are so far apart, its the only name they can come up with. FFS...South Coast club bordering the sea v SE London club, stones throw from Millwall and Charlton. Its laughable its even called a derby!

Can't say it has much, if any effect on the consciousness of the average Palace fan currently enjoying life at Selhurst Park.
In contrast, how has the last derby win for Palace affected the demeanour of the club and fans on the South Coast?

Quite.
All older Palace and Millwall fans know the history and who the real rivals have always been. Not an artificially created situation in the tinderbox seventies. A lot of BHA fans refuse to accept the fact that were are naturally neutral and to be fair know nothing different.

What about Americans who've never been to Selhurst, how does it effect them?

I'm not sure I agree with that at all. Yes our rivals were Millwall, but I'd imagine the vast majority of our fans and the vast majority of yours would definitely see each other as rivals. You guys also have a rivalry with Pompey and Southampton, and yes we have one with Millwall (not really with Charlton despite the close proximity...no one really cares about Charlton) but I've always felt Brighton were our main rivalry. I appreciate that it all came out of a spat in the Spurs dressing room when El Tel missed out on the captaincy but it's grown into an organic rivalry and certainly bares no resemblance to a manufactured one anymore.

If you find one, ask them (and also request a dictionary for spelling).

Under a three-points-for-a-win system, we would have won the Division Two title in 1978/79 and Palace would have finished third.
