Question Can you help me decipher this?

So I've been having issues working on a few city blueprints -- the issues are that when I try to use the "Director's Choice" option to build a city, not every plot is built to match what I selected when I exported the original settlement using Transfer Settlements.

The basic type of plot plan is preserved. If I put down an industrial plot, it stays an industrial plot. It even chooses the right addon pack... but it doesn't always select the correct plot within the addon pack.

The most infamous example that I constantly wrestle with is when I put down one of your Scavenger Support stations and it winds up building a toy factory instead. I believe the Toy Factory is also one of yours, it's just... almost exactly the opposite of the kind of plot I put there. :)

So anyway, what I'd like to do is post part of my json file for one of my settlements. Below is a single object in the settlement, and it's one of the Industrial City interior plots:

{
"ConnectedObjects" : "",
"ExtraData" : "",
"FormID" : "00AE26",
"FormID_dec" : 285257254,
"PlotPath01FormID_dec" : 0,
"PlotPath01Plugin" : "",
"PlotPath02FormID_dec" : 0,
"PlotPath02Plugin" : "",
"PlotPath03FormID_dec" : 0,
"PlotPath03Plugin" : "",
"PlotPlanFormID" : "091A1F",
"PlotPlanFormID_dec" : -888595937,
"PlotPlanPlugin" : "IndustrialCity_Sim_Settlements_Addon.esp",
"PlotStage" : 0,
"PlotVIPStoryFormID_dec" : 0,
"PlotVIPStoryPlugin" : "",
"RemoveHavok" : 0,
"Scale" : 1.0,
"idx" : 264,
"isActor" : 0,
"isAssignable" : 1,
"isCreated" : 1,
"isFarmAnimal" : 0,
"isFood" : 0,
"isGenerator" : 0,
"isPowered" : 1,
"isTamedCreature" : 0,
"isTurret" : 0,
"isWater" : 0,
"name" : "Industrial Plot - Interior",
"plugin_name" : "SimSettlements.esm",
"posX" : 50031.7734375,
"posY" : -47226.6796875,
"posZ" : 811.51788330078125,
"rotX" : 0.0,
"rotY" : 0.0,
"rotZ" : 18.072687149047852
},

My question is: is there anything in this section that would specifically call out the kind of plot it is? When I look at it I think that either the FormID, FormID_dec, or PlotPlanFormID might be the unique identifier for this thing (and I think this is either the first or second Scavenger Support interior plot, but I don't know for certain) but that's just guesswork on my part. I figured you might be able to add some insight.

If this snippet isn't accurately calling out what kind of plot it is, then it may be that Transfer Settlements doesn't export every kind of SS plot with 100% accuracy.

I still think the problem is that I'm probably doing something wrong because I've missed an important step, but I don't know what the step is... because I missed it. So I'm forced to poke around in other directions...
