The allegedly rebadged HP5 is from Maco. The statement below is from
www.digitaltruth.com/

Macophot UP400p 
Film is reputedly the same as HP5+. See HP5+ chart for more times.

But not rebadged HP5 ... Ilford has a C-41 film too (not HP5) and the
two,
Fuji's and Ilford's, are basically the same. They're both made by
Ilford.

It was a little comical to see them get two different ratings in the
reviews. Perhaps Ilford does make a slightly different film for Fuji. I
don't think it's a rebadged XP2 ... I think Fuji and Ilford teamed up on
the new Neopan C-41 film. We'll probably be finding a new version from
Ilford soon.
