I know for a fact that the Superia 100 is different from the Reala 100.  I
might have it mixed up:  the Reala may also be called Superia Reala; in
which case Superia is simply Superia.  (Oy, these guys at Fuji know how to
make life easy, don't they.)  Whatever the nomenclature, there are two
distinct films; one superior (although not Superia); the other inferior.
