I need help figuring out this pattern

I have two 2digit hexidemical numbers. Each set of 2 numbers references a certain Item. There are 64 different Items. I'm looking for a way to be able to pick any combination of the two hex numbers and know what the item is without trial and error. Below are some of the number that I found through trial and error.
 
 
 
 
 
00 00 is Item 1
00 01 is Item 2
00 03 is Item 3
..
00 3F Item 64
00 40 Item 1
00 41 Item 2
00 42 Item 3
 
It just doesn't repeat though. The two hex numbers flipped are the same items.
 
42 00 Item 3
41 00 Item 2
 
I randomly came across these that are in reverse order. Not sure if that just happens, so the pattern reveres itself along the way?
4F 4B Item 5
4F 4C Item 4
4F 4D Item 3
4F 4E Item 2
4F 4F Item 1
 
other examples:
01 00 Item 2
01 01 Item 1
01 02 Item 4
01 10 Item 17
04 00 Item 5
10 00 Item 16
10 01 Item 17
14 14 Item1
14 15 Item 2
37 36 Item 2
41 41 Item 1
 
 
I need to figure out a way to take any 4 digit hex number and know which item it is. I can't figure it out.
