Possibly making a complete fool of myself as I am too lazy to refer with score or old vinyl (Barenboim/Chicago in my case, pretty impressive).
As I remember B4, it is the one with the massive unisono horn fanfares in Bb concert (written F major in the F horn parts). This induces a question of mine: The double horn hardly was common during Bruckners time, whereas the single horns in Bb and F were well known. Did Bruckner expect these fanfares to be played on open Bb horns? When I play my 5 valve Hoyer single Bb, I finger the 2nd space A with 3 (open is too flat, 1+2 is too sharp, 3 is spot on true). When I play my Conn 28D double, I use the F side in that register.
