Having a spare few moments I looked at the suggested file. I reckon it
is accurately reflecting the true orchestration, but there are one or
two things to bear in mind:

(I used Sibelius to load the score)

All the clarinet parts are on one stave. I remember that there are 3
parts (I think), one of them doubling Eb, another Bass.
The stave is called clarinets, but seems to have been created as Bass
clarinet as the part is an octave too high.
Because iy is midi the trills are written out (occasionally with weird
effects!)
No account is made of whether Bb, A, Bass or Eb is appropriate

Thus some work is required to work out the parts, correcting the octave
and separating parts out (with educated guesses as to the relevant
transpositions), but nevertheless, you would get a valuable study
source

ps When I played it (years ago) I was the only player with Eb or Bass,
so the three of us had to pass the parts around, sometimes during
performance! Fortunately, I don't remember that Eb and Bass were
required at the same time.
