With respect, I used Agfa #6 and found no other paper with the same high contrast. Their grading system was not linear.

Hard to know. Remember that Agfa used a different
numbering system where the grades were one number higher
than Kodak or Ilford. That is, Agfa Grade 6 was the same as
Kodak Grade 5 and Agfa "normal" contrast was Grade 3 rather
than Grade 2. That said the graded papers had a different
kind of change in the curves from variable contrast paper so
it may not be possible to duplicate.
