You can run lugs on the front as long as they are not spaced out like tractor tires. if they have a solid lug down the middle it will ride on that at higher speeds when the tire expands. it's up to you but I have minor ocd and running 2 different treads drives me mad. Nothing wrong with running the sizes you requested, my ocd keeps me from it.
I don't disagree with knobs on the front just for me I couldn't find any in a 23 inch tire that was as cheap or cheaper than my rears. Again I carry a spare and my ocd kicks in so I tend to stick with one type of tire. I don't want to limp home because I have a "front tire" as a spare in the middle of a ride. It's bad enough I'm running 2 different offset rims but that is about to change with the correct spacers.
