According to Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory, the USA and Australia have very similar cultures, although 'mateship' is not a dimension considered I will admit. :D
I would suggest that all national cultures value loyal friendship and working as a team.
That said, 'mateship' has a sense of egalitarianism to it, and while Australia and the USA are egalitarian cultures, that is lacking in other nations, e.g., China.
Because the linked site seems flaky - no references. A google search for the title of the 'Harvard paper that is about to be published' only returns that site.
I agree that the amount of lives lost post WW2 have been largely ignored.. You may find this visualisation of deaths in WW2 interesting: https://vimeo.com/128373915
