(1) Very plausible, given using cigarette matches obviously preceded the plastic ones.
(2) Good conjecture, although it's odd that the eBay set has two shades of red. Maybe the owner had a couple of sets that were somehow combined. From the poor condition of the case, it looks like it received a lot of use.
As to the higher values, I counted the number of matches in my set. The outside has seen relatively little wear, so all in all I may have an original quantity. And indeed, my count is:
White = 32 matches.
Red = 8 matches.
Dark Blue = 8 matches.
I am guessing that the color values were related to powers of 2.
