In UK at least it is complete b*ll*cks. Here's my usual supplier's page 
full of HPR sheet sizes http://www.squidtechnology.com/hfa_pr308.htm

HP Hahnemuhle Smooth Fine Art Paper is near as dammit identical as far as 
I can tell, aside from the 265g/m base (vs 308gsm for HPR). Some claim it 
is optimised for HP pigment inks and that the surface is smoother, but I 
use both it and Hahnemuhle Photo Rag and have never noticed any difference 
greater than I've seen between different batches of HPR.
