I'm sorry, I don't understand fully what you did there. The "reference" 
you refer to is a certain MC run with a certain setup? In that case 
isn't your unfolding dependent on that MC author's choice of where to 
put photon emissions in that specific version of the code?

That doesn't mean it makes physical sense to split FSR from ISR photons.
