Something is wrong here. If the sum of the 2 digits is twice the units digit, it follows that both the tens and units digits are the same. Having said that, they are NOT unique numbers, and can never satisfy the other clue that's provided.

Not possible. If the sum of the digits is twice the units digit, then the digits must be the same. If the digits are the same, there is zero difference when you reverse the digits -- a difference of 54 is not possible.
