After some digging around, you are correct - the tool required for the hope BSA30 bb is not the same as that required for the other common BSA30 cups. So BBT79 and the Rotor spanner etc will not work.
Seems a bit of an odd design decision by Hope, especially as their tool looks shit and can't be used on some full-sus frames as it fouls the lower linkage...facepalm
