I'm not sure about the brain extraction.  Seems worth a try.

Unfortunately, I don't have permission to pass that data onto you; however, I 
did check in the structural directory of one of the Human Connectome Project 
(HCP), and looked at both of these files:

SUBJECT/T1w/T1wDividedByT2w.nii.gz
SUBJECT/T1w/T1wDividedByT2w_ribbon.nii.gz

Both appeared to be in the same orientation as the T1/T2 (i.e., x increases 
left to right, y increases posterior to anterior, y increases inferior to 
superior).  So if your counterparts are not like that, then something may be 
amiss.
