Scribus will do the conversion for you and can also simulate the outcome on
screen.

If you check those, Scribus will include color profiles in the PDF and the
printer must be able to understand those. If they are not checked, Scribus
will convert the colors to the printing profile.

Do you know what profile was used to generate the RGB images? If unknown,
either sRGB or Generic RGB might be best choice in File -> Document Setup ->
Color management.
