I haven't looked at the two sides but IMO any logical rating system means that these two sides would be approximately equal.

Yeah and no. The 75-99 team imo is better and imo has better bench strength. Consider a B side from that era:

Anwar
Kirsten
Chappell
Miandad
Waugh*
Inzi
Dujon+
Wasim
Donald
Holding
Garner


Left out Ambrose because in spin friendly conditions, the bowlers chosen would take the wicket out of the equation.

Need to be more specific than that though. We talking Gabba 2022 or MCG 2017?

Assume it to be Gabba or Perth of 90s

I think the balance supplied by Gilchrist makes the second side better. First side only has four bowlers, and if you changed it you'd end up with a weak 6/7 instead.

Only thing I can really use to split them though.

Yeah Kallis’ bowling and Gilchrist’s batting are the two separating factors for me.

What about 1st side batting till 11th position? ?
