Are you asking why? If so, it could be anything. a and b are used because they are easy to relate to.
I'd be inclined to say no, Im looking for the answer myself. But if you have Cov(A-B,A+B)=Cov(A,A)-Cov(B,B)-Cov(B,A)+Cov(A,B), then the last two will cancel but if Var(B)>Var(A) then we would get a negative covariance. [Cov(A,A)=Var(A)] So it looks possible because as far as I know there is no squaring of the coefficeients when you bring them out of the covariance so a negative answer is entirely possible.
Consider the main operations to be addition and multiplication. In that case, subtraction is defined in terms of addition, for example, a - b = a + (-b) (where the last "-b" refers to the additive inverse of b), while a / b = a times 1/b (where 1/b is the multiplicative inverse of b). Now, assuming that commutative, etc. properties hold for addition and multiplication, check what happens with a subtraction. That should clarify everything. For example: a - b = a + (-b) whereas: b - a = b + (-a) which happens NOT to be the same as a - b, but rather its additive inverse.
A) No known calendar goes back that far. B) No one had invented writing by then, so there is no record.
