Yikes, I didn't realize Ilford was manufacturing Neopan (I guess the construction of the canister should have been a giveaway though). For what it's worth, Neopan's definitely not a rehashed Ilford product - its reciprocity characteristics are totally unique in the industry. I keep some around for easy long exposures.

Yes, Acros II is still a unique product which seems pretty much identical to the original Fuji-made Acros. See: https://bluemooncameracodex.com/film-fridays/ffacrosii I've shot a roll of Acros II and liked it, although I thought the shadows blocked up a bit at box speed and will likely shoot my next roll at 64 instead of 100 (or shoot at 125 and push one stop).

(I never said Acros II was a relabeled Ilford product; I said Ilford was making Acros II for Fuji.)
