I would bid:
-N: pass (balanced minimum despite good cannto be enough to bid 4♠)
-S: 5♦ (not gonna risk a double with 10 diamonds including KQJ)
-N: 5♠ (5♥ would be interesting but I don't have what it takes to bid it)
-S: 4 keycards ♠AK ♦A ♣K, partner rates to have only 2, but 3 is possible, and ♣K or ♠K could be onside, its a coin toss between pass and 6♦.
On the other hand if north bids 4♠ its just a matter of keycards, gambling that partner has 2+ hearts or a club honnor to play 7♠

Right or wrong, I am certainly not pussyfooting with 5♦ on the second round with the South hand.
When all of North cards are working after he has limited his hand his 6♥ bid obviously invites a grand and South can count 13 tricks on a dummy reversal in spades but not in diamonds.
I am a five card major guy, but my Acol heritage would induce me to open the North hand with 1♠
