Look for a 67mm B&H barrel - not a 1010 one (with smooth rings) as the bore will be too large, but any other wooden B&H barrel will be fine provided it is 67mm. An Imperial 926 barrel will have smooth socket rings, but will have the 15mm bore.
There are some instances where you'll find a matching A clarinet has a shorter barrel than its Bb counterpart. One example being the matching set of Selmer Series 9* clarinets I've got - the Bb has a 66mm barrel and the A a 65mm one. Each section of each instrument is serial numbered and marked either A or Bb, and the A barrel is the shorter of the two. Has to be said I'm already sharp using the 66mm barrel on both instruments. One of the Yamaha Custom models also has a shorter barrel for the equivalent A clarinet.
