Unitary Amicable Pair

A Pair of numbers $m$ and $n$ such that

\begin{displaymath}
\sigma^*(m)=\sigma^*(n)=m+n,
\end{displaymath}

where $\sigma^*(n)$ is the sum of Unitary Divisors. Hagis (1971) and García (1987) give 82 such pairs. The first few are (114, 126), (1140, 1260), (18018, 22302), (32130, 40446), ... (Sloane's A002952 and A002953).
