I'm not sure what the numbers mean. Are you talking about coach batteries or cranking batteries? Or both?

Are the numbers amp/hours?

In either case, it is best if a set that works together is replaced together, unless they are very young.

What kind of a tester was used? Was it a Midtronics conductance tester?

Were they fully charged before testing?

If you use four coach batteries, what are they? 6 volt? 12 volt? L16? Golf Cart?

Do you really need four coach batteries? If you are not a heavy user, two could be sufficient. We were very happy with two and only went to four to cut down genset run time and to use an inverter for the microwave. A lot of this depends on your energy use. You could also buy two and see how you like it. If you want two more, buying two more that match within a month or two would not be a problem.
