HFSPlus, HFSPlus-64 and vboxhfs.efi?

I'm getting a bit confused on the differences between these drivers. IIRC,

 

HFSPlus.efi is Apple's own driver, extracted from the system files somehow (I'd like to learn how). From the sounds of it it's technically not legal.

VBoxHFS.efi and its 64-bit version are open-source alternatives for HFSPlus.efi, developed as part of VirtualBox.

HFSPlus-64.efi, I can't find any information on where it came from or its differences to HFSPlus.efi.

 

Does anyone know something more about HFSPlus-64.efi? And is there any difference in performance between these drivers?

 

Also, I've been using Apple's apfs.efi pulled from my real Mac to boot APFS volumes ever since APFS was released. It seems Clover now has something called ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi. What does that driver do differently from apfs.efi?
