I found two:

  * EPSG::32600 - WGS 84 / UTM grid system (northern hemisphere)
  * EPSG::32700 - WGS 84 / UTM grid system (southern hemisphere)

Not as far as I can see; EPSG uses two different CRS for the two
hemispheres. However if we use the CRS for North hemisphere with
negative Northing (y) values in the South hemisphere, I would expect the
calculation to work (but did not verified).
