Get the answer from the FSDO. With that said, one possible path forward may be:
You are pursuing an FAA issued certificate/rating/license. FAA flight time requirements (and definitions must be met).

Flight time means:
(1) Pilot time that commences when an aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after landing; or
(2) For a glider without self-launch capability, pilot time that commences when the glider is towed for the purpose of flight and ends when the glider comes to rest after landing.
I would stop the use of the term "sortie conversion" etc stuff as it raises alarm bells with some folks.
Instead carefully audit military flight time records and documents and transfer the accurate FAA-definition flight times into an civilian logbook. Make sure that logbook is 100 bona-find truthful and accurate, and could pass a forensic exam, and you would have zero sleep loss if the FAA themselves, the JAG office, the FBI, and Congress borrowed the logbook for 2 weeks to check the numbers.
"Did you use a sortie conversion factor to come up with these times?"
No (true statement)- these times are an accurate representation of FAA flight time definitions.
