Yes, I think so. I have been a fan of Selmer Paris clarinets of that vintage and have owned several (and still own a few). Some have been marked Series 9, and others not. And yet all of them conform to the model numbers you list or their analogous models.
Model 30 Bass Clarinet ca. 1970 not marked Series 9.
Model 22 Alto Clarinet ca. 1962 marked Series 9
Model 25 basset horn ca. 1967 not marked Series 9
Model 40 contra alto ca. 1958 not marked Series 9
Note that only the Bb Bass and Bb/A soprano clarinets have new model numbers since then. The others are basically the same designs/model numbers from the 1960s-70s. Apparently "Series 9" is just a marketing designation that comes and goes.
At least that's my conclusion.
(BTW, inexplicably, all of these instruments also feature lyre holders....for all the marching I do with my basset and contra!)
