I have not used -netsis- (from SJ 12-1; please explain _where_
user-written programs you refer to come from) but this appears to
yield easily to a simple trick.

gen first = cond(source < target, source, target)
gen second = cond(source < target, target, source)
bysort month first second : gen recip = mod(_N, 2)  == 0

Inequalities apply to strings as well as numbers, e.g.

. di  ("James" < "Keira")
1

so sorting reduces pairs to comparable form ("James" "Keira"   and
"Keira" "James" both are sorted to "James" "Keira"   and 7  42 and 42
7 are both sorted to 7 42).
