NPH is their pro 400 with low contrast and accurate colour reproduction;
it's the 400 version of NPS.  (NPZ, which used to be NHGII, is their ISO
800 version of the same.)  There is no "pro" 400 to relate to NPC, though
their consumer Superia line probably comes close.

It's easy.  :)  NPS (160), NPH (400), and NPZ/NHGII (800) are the
low-contrast pro emulsions, similar to Kodak's 160NC and 400NC.  NPC (160)
is a new emulsion with punchier colours and more contrast, similar to
Kodak's 160VC.  Fuji doesn't have a pro film yet to compare with Kodak's
400VC.  And then there's Reala...  ;)
