agree  Jack den Haan: Source pair seems more likely to me, but I'm out of the office for a while and have no further resources to check this out.

source pair


Explanation:
I have a text with two pairs - twee bronparen. And then it's just awkward to use pair source, so my vote goes to source pair (because it is a pair of sources, one hot and one cold...) and the plural becomes source pairs, which works much better (and is more logical) in my opinion.
