UMVUE for the centre and half-width of a uniform distribution

Let X1,X2,…,XnX_1,X_2,\dots,X_n (n≥3n\ge3) be a random sample from the uniform distribution on the interval (θ1−θ2,θ1+θ2)(\theta_1-\theta_2,\theta_1+\theta_2), where θ1∈R\theta_1\in\mathbb R and θ2>0\theta_2>0 are unknown parameters. Let X(j)X_{(j)} be the jthj^{\text{th}} order statistic, j=1,2,…,nj=1,2,\dots,n, and let Xˉ=1n∑i=1nXi\bar X=\tfrac1n\sum_{i=1}^nX_i. Here, (X(1),X(n))(X_{(1)},X_{(n)}) is a complete and sufficient statistic for (θ1,θ2)(\theta_1,\theta_2). Then, which of the following statements are true?
