[Avid-L2] LUTs with F55 S-log footage

I'm testing LUTs with some camera tests on the F55. I have 2 tests, 1
from a couple weeks ago, 1 more recent.

With the newer test, the stuff that was shot XAVC 4K with Slog-2 and
Slog-3 gamma curves does not show up in Avid (MC v.7.0.3) the way I expect.

The older test had clips shot in the same format, and when AMA-linked,
Avid detected the Slog-2 gamma and automatically applied the correct
LUT. This isn't happening with the newer test footage.

When I compare in my bin, I see some obvious metadata differences.

On the new clips, my "colour space" metadata should read "YCbCr Sony
S-Gamut (Slog-2
gamut)", but instead reads as "YCbCr Other: Unknown gamma [64-940 (10
bits)]"

"CaptureGammaEquation" metadata should read "Slog-2" or "Slog-3",
but instead reads as "Aces Proxy"

Anyone run into this?

Thanks,
