Hawk HPS are a street pad.
Hawk HP+ are a track/street pad. They dust more than the HPS.

Really? I would've thought it was the other way around. Aren't track pads made of harder material? (which would dust less?)

Track pads dust more, without any exceptions that I know of. Street pads typically have "low dust" as one of their design goals, where that is rarely an explicit goal of track pads.

It makes intuitive sense that they would, but wear rate and amount of dust don't seem to correspond all that well among different compounds. Track pads may wear quickly if used on the street below their ideal operating temps -- perhaps that is part of the dusting mystery. Both track and street pads seem to dust a lot on the track. Some dust (corrosive, hard to clean, prone to collecting on wheels) is worse than others.
