Am I over or underclocking one of my Athlons?

BTW if I am overclocking or underclocking, it is purely accidental. Any
ideas of what they should be running at?

The XP2600+ must be a Barton core which runs at a FSB of 166.66 mhz
with a multiplier of 11.5, which results in a CPU running at 1917 mhz.
AMD decided that the 512k cache on the Barton made overall performance
equivalent to the XP2600+ Thoroubred core which runs at 2133 mhz.
Both your XP2600+ and XP2400+ speeds appear to be correct.
