You are correct, they should be close enough without any equalizing
components.
FYI for next time, 6A10 diodes have become preferred by many for high power
use because of their 6 amp continuous and 400 amp surge ratings and moderate
cost. Their lead diameter is greater so if they are mounted on a PC board
they may not fit, but otherwise they are a drop-in replacement.
