I thought that as I was reading this, but came to different conclusions. I see a focus on honour and reputation as a level 3 concern, while a focus on PR is a level 4 one.
There isn’t really a level 1; caring what other people think is exactly what level 1 is not about. Level 2 would involve some sort of lying to level-1 people, but since there isn’t really a level 1 in this context, there isn’t really a level 2 either.
Although I think PR vs honor fits into level 3⁄4 best, it still doesn’t seem like quite a perfect fit to simulacra in general. PR is a clean fit to simulacrum 4, but honor doesn’t quite fit right in the simulacrum framework; it has elements of both “actually doing the thing” (i.e. level 1) and “making sure that other people know you’re actually doing the thing” (i.e. level 3).
Yeah, i guess what i thought of is the type of honor that you adhere to for yourself, even if no one else knows. but that’s not exactly what the post talks about.

Interesting. What would the level 2 and level 1 of that then?

That sort of honour is probably level 1.
Maybe that’s integrity, or something like that.
