I measured the SE (1992 Custom YCL-853ii).

The barrel has a Moennig taper:
Top - 14.94mm
Bot - 14.71mm
...the profile is a straight line
The upper joint is
Top 15.1mm
Bot 14.86mm
...and the top of the lower joint is
15.1mm....note that there is a step at the middle joint

The clarinet plays exactly at 440 when fully warmed up, with very good intonation and strong altissimo.

The throat notes are very strong and even as well.

EDIT: It actually comes up to about 441 when fully warmed up, blowing hard. Can squeeze it to 442. The barrel design is exactly a 66mm Moennig taper (based on my measurements of a Buffet and an Accubore Moennig); my 65 Accubore (Accubore M65) tunes at about 442 and plays with similar intonation.
