I have never seen fp as meaning "f forte for 1st repeat, p for 2nd
repeat" (that is denoted with f-p). fp is a type of accent/dynamic,
and fp is different from sfz (sf = sforzato):
fp dynamic is loud start followed with subito piano.

on horn, sfz often also involves a different attack of the tongue.
(perhaps for string players bowing technique is different.) Details
vary with era where the composition originates, though.
I can imagine that you find the distinction unimportant, since the
dynamic of a note once struck cannot be altered on a piano or
guitar. For wind/string players the difference is essential.
