As is often requested on this list, it would be most helpful if you
asked specific questions, and possibly post a project of what you've
done and a clear explanation of what you are trying to do.  Open ended
questions are just too difficult to address.   Are you asking how to
include both Ag-Br and Ag-Cl in a fit, or asking if you can
distinguish random substitution from ordered substitution?     I'm not
sure why the Ag-Br and Ag-Cl parameters would be the same, but it's
too hard to speculate without knowing what you actually did.
