ID my barrel

Hi, everyone.

I just bought myself a new barrel for my Bb clarinet from wwbw. I ordered a Moenig barrel, which according to the picture on the web site should have "MOENIG" stamped in gold under the Buffet logo. The barrel which arrived does not have that marking. On the back of the barrel, it is stamped R13 A 640. My A clarinet barrel is also stamped with an A. To me, that would suggest that wwbw sent me a standard Buffet barrel for an A clarinet. The customer service representative at wwbw said that "sometimes Buffet does not stamp the Moenig designation on their barrels." I have heard that R13's are often shipped with Moenig barrels, so I might be able to believe that part of it, but what about the "A?" I've already tried out the barrel, and my sound is improved, but if I have the wrong barrel, my sound might be even better with the correct one. Can anyone advise me on whether I was sent the right barrel? Thanks!
