DNA Ancestry's "matches" can be a stretch by FTDNA standards (I guess at some point we are all a match).  One of my "matches" entered 29 markers, and we differ on nine of the markers.  He listed his haplogroup as E3b, and I am Q1-P36.2+ (M346- and M378-).
To see the marker identifications all you have to do is click on the "Markers" heading above the results comparison.  The heading is underlined and in green.  You can compare with everyone DNA Ancestry says you match (all on one screen).

...She was lead to believe he father had a bunch of matches, but it was
very difficult to tell how valuable the matches were.

...In the first place, on the page that shows the matches, while the repeat
values were visible, the actual markers were not identified, they were
just labeled 1, 2, 3,...  The only place where the markers were actually
identified, was on this man's private page.
