I'd suspect any random pair of KM-184 to match about as closely as a pair of NT-5 that Rode "matches" by simply selling two consecutive serial numbered mics. And lots of folks are happy with NT-5 matched pairs for X-Y recording.
To my understanding, truly matching the characteristics of a pair of microphones to the best possible extent entails an amount and quality of testing that couldn't possibly be justified even at KM-184 prices...
