There are some species that people seem to be able to keep in pairs, i've seen some jacksonii, melleri and hoehnelii that was successfully paired together.
However, this is usually very experienced chameleon keepers that know what they are doing.
I strongly suggest that you keep the different species individually, maybe for years, so that you have a behavioural referense to fall back on. Without that you have no way of knowing what behaviour is due to the co-habitation and what is not.

Brevs are from brookesia, so other brookesias can be kept in pairs.
Such as viridis, acuminatus, spinosus and the rest.

Other chameleons can be bradypodions (I dont think you will get though).
Melleri and jacksons, maybe a few others.
But that cage is not big enough for a pair anyway.
The height is fine but if you want a trio or pair make the length the same as the height, that works best for me, I will have new bradypdoions that will permanently be outside in 1.5 meter high, 1.5 meter long and 60cm wide.
Mellers I think will need much much more, but I am no expert on them

the ones you mentioned should be kept in very big enclosures if you keep them as a pair. jacksoniis and hoehneliis are also better kept single.
And, what Jonas said, chameleons should be only kept together by experienced persons
Some small montane chams will do well when when kept in groups. I've kept Sternfeldi in a 1.2 with no apparent problems. But, you need to know what to look out for when keeping them in groups (stress). Also, some cham species can be housed in female groups. I once kept 0.3 F. Pardalis in a large enclosure.
