This is where it gets complicated...I believe these numbers are all alleles. I am used to seeing mismatches such as A*0301 to A*0302. the 03 to 30 seems like a big difference to me. But maybe that is a good thing. I believe I read somewhere that if A has a mismatch, it's better to have more amino acids not matching than only one or two. It's very complicated as you can see.
