Just noticed the last part of your question
No Harriers were lost on the Atlantic Conveyor - just helicopters
3 Chinook, a few stripped out Mk2 Sea Kings and the best part of a squadron of Wessex 5's which had been hurriedly de-mothballed

What nay have made a difference would have been sending Atlantic Causeway earlier with extra Harriers - it was held back for more extensive deck conversion to give better shelter than was on the Conveyor, and arrived too late
