Max,
thanks a lot for your (excellent as usual) reply!!

Using it I found:
A054504(*
Numbers n such that Mordell's equation y^2 = x^3 + n
has no integral solutions. *)=
{6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 20, 21, 23, 29, 32, 34, 39, 42, 45,
46, 47, 51, 53, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 66, 67, 69, 70,
74, 75, 77, 78, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 93, 95,
96, 102, 103, 104, 109, 110, 111, 114, 115, 116, 118,
123, 124, 130, 133, 135, 137, 139, 140, 146, 147, 149,
153, 155};

A081121=(*
Numbers n such that Mordell's equation y^2 = x^3 - n
has no integral solutions. *){
3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 22, 24, 29, 30,
31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 41, 42, 43, 46, 50, 51,
52, 57, 58, 59, 62, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 73, 75, 77,
78, 80, 82, 84, 85, 86, 88, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 96,
97, 98, 99};

Intersection[A081121,A054504]
ND={6,14,21,29,32,34,42,46,51,58,59,62,66,69,70,75,77,78,84,85,86,88,90,93,96}

And ND list gives 
(Absolute values of) Non-difference between square and
cube (not only neighbor as in %C A125643).

Hence any number in ID should be in %C A125643.
But 21 is in ND and absent in %C A125643!

Indeed in A125643,
we have:
..,64,81,100,121,125,...,
and 121-100=11^2-10^2=21!!

21 is not difference between neighbor square and cube,
but it is difference between neighbor terms in
A125643.

As a result: my subject 'Difference between neighbor
square and cube' is not correct,
and in %C A125643 we have 
'Difference between neighbor square/cube and
square/cube'.

Sorry and thanks to Max & all seqfans,
Zak
