You don't have to take that 2SA733 verbally. And decent pnp transistor with
the right pinout will do.
No matched pair required. There is a trimpot to adjust the balance between
the two expo outputs, because some of the OTA chips I tried had terrible
matching. That trimpot will even out any transistor mismatch, too.

Right.
