It was my understanding that the (U) after the Dipl.Ing stood for 5 years at a University and the (FH) stood for 4 years at a Fachhochschule (School of Applied Sciences.)
If you read the Engineering Report and that there just be two designations, one being Chartered Engineer and the other Registered Engineer, for me, this indicates that along with this report and the many other previous reports, that CEng is regarded at a higher level. I don't like the words superior, inferior, Gold Standard or Silver Standard, but believe from my over 50 years in engineering (now retired), that trying to compare the work that I performed as an IEng compared to CEng's or EngTech's was of lesser importance than the other team members would be rediculous. In the companies I worked for, it would be of equal importance and status, as in many projects the 3 positions overlaped.
