According to the seller my newly acquired bike is a 750 GTF. Is it correct that that is a GT with a S-frame? If so, what are the differences between these?
The original 1970 T saddle I just bought does not fit, which has probably to do with this issue (apart from the fact that the mounting tabs of the current Suzuki saddle are in the way :().
 
GT and S frames differ notably at the top engine mounts. Post a pic without the tank and we'll decide what you have. There are more differences, but they are more subtle, not all immediately visible.

Isn't a GTF frame identical to an SF?

No.

GT part # 60 101 019, SF part # 60 101 370. Quite different top engine mount and flatter steering angle for the GT, along with a few other odds and sods to cater for the GT-unique bits.

Unfortunately, only the SF type is depicted in the parts books, but with 2 reference #s.
