It's actually kind of tough to say whether or not that's an exact match based on the model numbers alone because Shimano often makes a couple variations of a given model.
However, cranksets are more or less universal (at least, more so than things like shifters and derailleurs). There are only a couple of things that you need to watch out for.
You need ...

Despite the the spindle length is 113, but as you observed, the offset is different - so the cranks are sitting in different positions. Not all Shimano BB are made symmetrical - and UN55 BC 1.37 x 24 113mm. means its a 1.37*24tpi thread, with a 113mm shaft - not mention on the offset of the shaft. Based on all this, evidence is that you have an imcompatable ...

While it is possible that the numbers may be worn off or scratched over on older components, the theory you are working under seems to indicate that you would be looking for newer, lower level components, rather than older higher end stuff.
Check the back ...

Note : this is mostly based on my personal experience. Its an incredibly subjective subject, so there is no right answer. Keep in mind that in reality one level up or down will be completely unnoticeable performance difference to most riders.
XT is considered the "Sweat spot" for performance, weight and durability. Probably X9 in the SRAM range. XTR and ...

The main compatibility problems arising between SRAM and Shimano is with the rear derailleurs. The SRAM numbered models (X-7/9/0/X etc) will only work with SRAM rear mechs (and v.v). Front mechs are compatible (I use SRAM shifters and an XT front mech). In terms of the shifters you should be fine.
The only difference I can think of for the front mech would ...
