S5 Pro film simulations vs. Hyper Utility 3 film simulations

Hello,

I would like to re-convert all my family and portrait photos taken with S5 Pro in Standard film simulations mode (RAW) to one of the F1 film simulation modes (maybe F1b), but in Hyper Utility 3 I can chose only among the following modes:

Pro Negative

F3a

F3b

F3c

Fujichrome

A person I know, whom I could call a Fuji-expert suggested that these correspond to the camera's modes in the following way, but he is not completely sure:

Pro Negative : F1

F3a : F1a

F3b : F1b

F3c : F1c

Fujichrome : F2

The correspondence shown above seems logical, but the person was not 100% sure - it was his educated guess, and moreover, I think I've read somewhere that the modes in HU are complementary to those of the camera, and not duplicates, and finally I don't seem to get those smoothest tonal transitions in the skin tones from F3b which they say the F1b is capable of (although I've never tried F1b before even in-camera, so I really don't know what exactly to expect, but on the other hand I've seen some very nice wedding shots in the net, taken with S5 Pro, which I am not able to match color-wise).

So the question finally is: do the HU film simulations duplicate the OOC ones, or they are complementary, and so - different in a certain way? If the latter is the case, then is there a possibility to use F1x modes in HU?
