Probably it can be done by carefully matching each patch to the measured RGB figures, using Photoshop’s Curves panel.

A better tool is the Color Mixer — and this is the primary tool used in software to convert raw data to a standard color space like sRGB. The color mixer has the advantage that it is a purely linear transformation of the image data — so hues won’t shift with exposure.

But I’d use the tool on linear data — either with a linear form of sRGB or other standard space or in 32 bit mode in Photoshop which is also linear.
