As for the pants I am less than knowledgeable on pants tagging but I think your tagging goes as such

34= waist size
25= Inseam or player number
29= inseam or player number
1 = Set
78= Year

I am sure that one of the two sets of numbers is the player number but not sure exactly which one.

Interesting, thanks. I guess I could measure the inseam and figure it out. From the numbers it would be ken singleton or rich dauer, and I would think it would have to be dauer (25) with a 29 inseam since he was 6 feet and singleton was 6'4"". You might not be able to tell from this picture but the right knee is patched. Would a team do that back then rather than just replace the pants? I guess if they only issued two pairs maybe they would.
