Notice the 3 chords with the F# are the only ones that aren't also diatonic to C Major. The Bdim in C Major gets a raised 5th to become Bm. The Dm gets a raised 3rd to become D, and the F becomes F#dim. Their inclusion of the F# leading tone gives them a dominant harmonic function.

Again, notice the 3 chords with the F# are the only ones that aren't also diatonic to A minor. The Bdim in A Minor gets a raised 5th to become Bm. The Dm gets a raised 3rd to become D, and the F becomes F#dim.

If the F#dim shape is too difficult to reach the F# on the high E string, you can leave it off.
