Well I just realized the missing parameters were under the un-expanded "AC" tab in the fans parameter list. Didn't even notice that till just now! Obviously a newbie here. As for which xdf, I'm not sure how to answer that. I was given the xdf from a member at gearhead-efi who indicated it had the AC fan controls. And so it does. So now I should be able to confirm fan operation in my bench-top testing.

This all makes perfect sense. Now I need to inspect the boards for the tach output. None that I know of have the 12v pullup built on the board any longer. Parameter to select pull-up is in the software but no hardware to make that work. For swaps that require that I usually wire a 1k resistor between B19 and the tach output to get the pullup to work.
