Shooting NTSC to be converted to PAL: Best Format?

Hello, I'm currently shooting with a film crew out of London. They're shooting in the states using a PAL version of the HDX900 and have a NTSC HPX500 as a back up body.
On certain scenes they had me shoot the second camera, and hopefully they could use the footage.

Now, my question to you all is...

What format should I set the HPX500 so my crew have minimal/no issues converting the HPX500 footage to PAL?

P.S. For those scenes I shot, I set my settings at... 720/24PN 60fps They wanted slow-mo.
 
Why would you film in NTSC and than convert to PAL, when you could record in PAL in the first place???
 
Right -- go into the other functions menu and change your system freq to 50Hz, then shoot 720/25pN @ 50fps, and they can use it directly.
