Unable to denoise husk rendered exrs with noice

[rolledhand]

Describe the bug
A simple problem, if you want to denoise husk rendered exrs with noice from command line it gives you an error that it's not a "Arnold product type" even when Arnold was used and it has the proper AOVs for noice to utilize. The only difference is that it's not encoded as arnold/"aov" (can't remember the correct name) and is encoded differently in the exr. Inspected with oiio and iinfo in terminal.

This makes it impossible to render with husk and utilize noice afterwards. The only possible way is to render through "direct USD" (kick) as a way to get the proper encoding and be able to denoise with noice as a post step.

Also not sure if it got already patched, but the kick exrs usually had higher luminance values, might be related to OCIO and "colorspace interpretation".

To Reproduce

1. Render with husk
2. Render with kick
3. Try to denoise with noice and inspect both metadata encodings

Expected behavior
An exr rendered with husk will be "denoise-able" with noice afterwards when it has all the necessary AOVs for noice to work. Additionally if rendered with husk/kick the luminance values should be matching.
