Frankly, our group never used any of the other letters followed by "HJ". Right or wrong, we prefixed "UHJ" with the number of channels, so we talked about "2-channel UHJ", "2.5-channel UHJ", and so on. If we were dealing with 4-channel UHJ we either called it that or "with-height UHJ" which by definition infers all four channels. But yes, if we just said "UHJ", that would infer 2-channel.

Regarding UHJ channels:

I should have said, that
in my (limited) experience 'UHJ' means
either
-all the HJ's (the top four rows in the Wikipedia table)
or
- what is/was known as BHJ (i.e. two channel).

Others may have different experiences ... and almost certainly based on a
bigger sample.

Anyway, a typical case of the generic term coming to mean the commonest
specific example ....

So: UHJ has no Z (if UHJ is BHJ)
or: UHJ can have Z (where PHJ is one of the HJs that comprise UHJ).

Another term for all the HJs is_IIRC_  'C-format'.

As I said an alphabet soup ...
