COMMENTS
If (x,y) and (u,v) are Wallis pairs, a is from (x,y) and c is from (u,v) and gcd(a,c)=1, b is from (x,y) and d is from(u,v) and gcd(b,d)=1, then (ac,bd) is also a Wallis pair. Such pairs are called decomposable. If (x,y) and (cx,cy) are Wallis pairs then (cx,cy) is also called decomposable.

EXAMPLE
(4,5) is a Wallis pair since sigma(16) = sigma(25) = 31.
MATHEMATICA
xmax = 20000; sigma[n_] := sigma[n] = DivisorSigma[1, n]; WallisQ[{x_, y_}] := sigma[x^2] == sigma[y^2]; pairs = Reap[Do[Do[ If[WallisQ[{x, y}] && ! (GCD[x, y] != 1 && WallisQ[{x, y}/GCD[x, y]]), Print[{x, y}, " is a Wallis pair to be tested for indecomposability"]; Sow[{x, y}]], {y, x + 1, 2.2*x}], {x, 1, xmax}]][[2, 1]]; indecomposableQ[{x0_, y0_}] := (pf = pairs // Flatten; sx = Intersection[Most@Divisors[x0], pf]; sy = Intersection[Most@Divisors[y0], pf]; xy = Outer[List, sx, sy] // Flatten[#, 1] &; sel = Select[xy, WallisQ[#] && WallisQ[{x0, y0}/#] &]; sel == {}); Select[pairs, indecomposableQ][[All, 2]] (* Jean-François Alcover, Sep 26 2013 *)
