If you compare the same make/model Bb and A clarinets, chances are in some cases you'll find the A may have a slightly narrower bore and much smaller toneholes compared to the Bb.
I spoke to Yamaha back in the '90s as someone wanted to know the specs of their A clarinets and they generally had a narrower bore diameter than their Bb counterparts to some degree or other.
You'll also see straight away that some Selmer Bb and A clarinets have noticeable differences in tonehole diameters when all the keys are off - especially the lower joint.
