Testing my understanding of the proposed extension, I think both would 
be "ja-t-en".  The second could alternatively be "ja-Jpan-t-en", but 
since 'Jpan' is the Suppress-Script for 'ja', it could normally be 
omitted unless one felt it necessary to call attention to the writing 
system.

Folks who insist that spoken content needs to be tagged as such, not 
inferred from the context, would probably say the first tag should be 
"jp-Zxxx-t-en".

The point is that the same Japanese content is converted along two 
discrete paths; there is no indication that one is converted from the 
other.  The source in each case is English ("-t-en").
