I don't know if the Fram HP filters had a better filter media but I do know they did have a thicker shell with a higher burst pressure,the same with Purolator HP's,you could feel the difference in weight compared to their equivalent standard filter.They also didn't have the beer can feel of the standard filters.I always thought standard Baldwin filters had the same heavy shell feel of the HP's but don't have anything to back it up just perception.

Also looks like they quit using TP as the filter media. Just think about all that talcum powder and BS sitting in your engine, TP has gotten pretty sissified over the years too!
