What is the formula for translating player pitch/bank/heading (PBH) into background editor PBH?

Pitch is positive. 0 through 360 degrees rotates upward
Bank is positive (rotates graphic clockwise about its center)
Heading is... negative? Positive values rotate it towards the left.

Degrees to Radians = (degrees) * (pi / 180)
Radians to Degrees = (radians) * (180 / pi)

Okay, cool.

If I have a set of player PBH values measured in-game (where the player's nose is pointing), how can I translate those into background PBH values?

If the player's angles are in degrees, P would be equal, H would be equal and negative, and B would be equal. I haven't found a direct correlation between the angles yet, so I'm pretty much shooting blind here.
