COMMENTS
Apparently these numbers come up mostly by pairs m, m+3 with m even; the odd terms being a subsequence of A005231. But this is not always the case (e.g., note the term 7425).
The numbers of terms not exceeding 10^k, for k = 3, 4, ..., are 2, 43, 393, 3635, 37599, 374092, 3731903, 37338208, 373256850, ... . Apparently, the asymptotic density of this sequence exists and equals 0.00373... . - Amiram Eldar, May 30 2023
