Buffet R13 clarinets

I have recently been doing some research (Including on this buletin board) around a pair of Buffet R 13s which I own which according to Buffet's website were made in 1979.
It is not clear whether from the serial numbers they are in fact a matching pair as the numbers were for the Bb 200446 and the A 200038.

is it possible to ascertain whether they are indeed a matching pair, and also whether they were made at a time by Buffet which would make them sought after Instruments, and how much they may fetch, though I am really asking for insurance purposes.

They do play with a real well centred sound, and mainly in tune save for slightly sharp throat notes, and some flatness in the altissimo range around top E and F all which is correctable through embouchure and finger corrections.
