There's no clear indication on the identity of the TMP quarters that Kirk uses. Be they the CO's or a visiting flag officer's or dignitary's, they'd be empty of personal effects at that time and thus unidentifiable. All we can say is that they match Kirk's TOS quarters in size... And that Scotty's comment in "Relics" suggests there were no TOS or TOS movie quarters as large as the ones he got aboard the E-D, that is, as large as Riker's, which ain't much bigger than what Kirk had in TOS. And that Elaan of Troyius initially displaced Uhura from her cabin, suggesting the TOS ship had limited facilities for visitors overall.
Production-wise, Spock's quarters in ST2 appear to have been a redress of Kirk's. OTOH, they were shot so that only the inner chamber was shown - there's only one angle on Kirk towards the door end of the room, plus some reflections on Spock's mirror, and neither of them reveals the possible presence of the outer chamber. So yes, we could argue that if Spock's quarters were those of a regular CO, then they would match those of Kirk in ST6.
Spock's ST6 quarters in turn were a more cramped-looking redress of Kirk's, it seems: the shower stall became the door, and there were more extensive support frames. Which is odd if Spock was supposed to be a visiting diplomat, although perhaps more excusable if he was supposed to be the ship's XO or SO.
In any case, it's very odd that these ST6 quarters would be smaller than their TOS equivalents. But we could argue that since the crew is shown to be hastily assembled for the mission, rather than simply continuing well-established service, their cabins were hastily reshuffled as well - possibly to accommodate the Klingons in the most luxurious rooms, were such a need to arise?
