[Edwin Clark]

How are you getting the terms? If the sequence is given by T(2n,n) where T 
is the array in 
http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A103881
then using the formula there these are easy to compute.

Just to be clear the formula agrees with your values. So it is likely that 
they are the same.
