What are you actually trying to achieve? Do you really need everything
to be identical? Even if you achieve that, the video may still be
different regarding some characteristics, as it's (likely) a different
encoder.
You are going in to quite deep details, so it might be necessary for
you to get an understanding of these values, and what you need them
for.

Ah, so you're trying to create a similar video from JPEG files?

I don't see why libx264 would create a "Constrained Baseline" profile
video if you tell it to use "-profile Main".

BTW, these are some of the parameters which may differ from the
original encoder. (Some affect the encoding strategies, some affect the
resulting video.) Do you really understand them all? Do you know which
you want to reproduce?
That said, I don't see how your "original" video has
constraint_set0_flag = 0 while being "Contrained Baseline". As far as
x264 is concerned, this seems like a contradiction.
