Thanks for the information.
Yes, the barrels for my later model 1010s (early 1980s) have sockets with dimensions similar to Reformed's numbers. Also, the London & Paris pre-war 1010 that I have (which is missing the original barrel) has a tenon shoulder on the upper joint that is around the same length, though interestingly the shoulder has a slightly smaller outer diameter than the later 1010's, so the later barrel can only be used on it with teflon tape. When using the later barrels, which are 64mm and 65mm, the London and Paris plays sharp, so I think it may have originally come with a longer barrel. Alternatively, the London and Paris may have been designed for saxophone players, who had a reputation for playing flat when doubling on clarinet....
