Yeah Buffet bass clarinets are poly-cylindrical in a sense as the neck usually has a larger bore diameter than the body. For example, the neck of the 1193 has a 24.0mm bore, however the body joints have a 23.5mm-23.6mm bore depending on the instrument (the Greenline I measured was 23.57mm whereas most wood versions measure closer to 23.5mm). My 2 Bb Buffet bass clarinets (1947 "Professional" and 1996 Prestige) both have a bore diameter of 23.8mm in the neck and 23.3mm in the body joints. My Buffet bass clarinet in C (1948) interestingly enough has a 24.0mm bore at the neck and a 23.5mm bore in the rest of the body meaning it actually has a slightly larger bore than the equivalent Bb from the same era.

Yes it is smaller, but the Buffet vent is also much much longer. The Leblanc vent only protrudes about 2mm into the bore where the Buffet vent protrudes almost 1cm.
