I have tried to fit my cor anglais bell on my clarinets, but the tenons are a little too wide whereas a Selmer BT or CT clarinet bell will easily go on a Marigaux cor with a bit of paper wrapped around the tenon to turn it into an oboe da caccia.

Some cor bells with wider sockets may fit a clarinet better - I think Howarth cor bells may fit on clarinets if they have a wider socket diameter compared to Marigaux cors. Loree cors have really narrow sockets, so they won't fit - as cor bell sockets are normally lined, maybe removing the liner will make the socket a better fit.

Gerold has links with Howarth, so maybe they supplied him the cor bell blanks - they used to make the joint blanks for a couple of his clarinet models in the late '90s/early '00s.
