I don't think B&H ever made altos - they made Eb, C, Bb, A and basses but I'm not aware of any B&H altos.
I replied to you over on SOTW about the alto you're playing in your video which looks very much like a Leblanc. I don't know of any other altos with an S bend in the crook like that.

Alto clarinets exist (I have one) which are marked as "Boosey & Hawkes The Edgware" models; they are in fact Kohlert - Winnenden, Germany instruments. Not that rare, and not bad. I don't know if Kohlert made two-piece wood models for B&H, mine has a one-piece hard rubber body.
