Dave Worrell makes an interesting point: <<Back in my previous lifetime as a
lab tech at 50 Minute Photo (in the early 80s) I experimented with Illford's
XP5 (although it may have been XP2 or 3 or 4 ;-) ) with acceptable results.
Printed on standard color paper (it was an automated mini-lab after all) with
no color correction I got a nice, but slightly washed out, sepia toned
print.>>

This explains to me why, several years ago when I sent some B&W film to
Nishika, they told me I could only get sepia-toned prints back, though they
had previously given a choice of blue-ish or sepia. I know very little about
printing negs, but this suggests Nishika was cutting down its processing
capabilities even then!
(Then again, I may be wrong...)
