Is this the same as the intermediate differential. What is the max allowed ??

Define what you mean when you say "asymmetry numbers"
If I'm making the proper assumption, then yes, they are the same as intermediate differential.
There is not a maximum amount set since it has to fall inline with already established limits of RG.

It is relative. I think common consensus is that balls with an asym. RG diff. of 0.01" and more have a considerable mass bias that is worth taking into account when drilling the ball, and the current maximum is in the 0.03" range.
It is, technically, the difference between the core''s RG min and max at an axis 90° to the pin axis (sometimes referred to as Z axis).
There is not limit what''s allowed, but it is a measure of the inner weight distribution and the forces which occur when the ball/core rotates and wants to migrate towards its stable axis''. Therefore, the asym. RG diff. is always lower than the "normal" RG diff. - otherwise, I could imagine that you create negative flare or have a hard time controlling the core motion with the setup, esp. with strong pin/MB positions.
Biggest asym. Rg diff. number I have seen was a 0.042 for a "Black Test Ball" from Morich, used at USBC tests. Not sure if the ball was legal (I doubt it), but AFAIK the sky and the RG diff. are the limit.
