Re: How do you test if camera lenses match?

What I am trying to do is use two (or more for lenticular) lens/shutter
combinations from the same type of beat up Autographic 3 cameras
to make a stereo camera.  They have Rapid Rectilenear Baucsh & Lomb
lenses and Ball bearing shutters, which were originally for "poscard size"
pictures.  I figured they would be good enough for 120 film.  
Then I will use that camera for prints (mostly black and white portraits, 
and some scenics), and not slides.  

Won't it be the same quality as the stereo cards that I enjoy so much,
assuming I pick the most "matched" lenses out of the ones I have?
And I don't know if 1% is matched enough either, that is just what I think
I read somewhere.

The reason I didn't want to use film is because I don't have the camera
made yet and want to see if the lenses I have are matched closely enough
for me to even bother.

Thank you for all the input on the subject.

Grant
