I think 54D is identical to Kodak D-52 and very similar to the

developers, additional bromide will cause the tone to become warmer
and may help get the effect you want.
I see you are right. I always think of Selectol as Selectol Soft.
All I need to do to change 54D into warm tone D52 is cut the sodium
carbonate by about 2/3s and increase the potassium bromide by about
triple. Coincidentally that is about exactly what I do when mixing
a WT developer.
