I would not be surprised. Back in the earl to mid 80's Motorola had a 
habit of takiong their existing designs and multiple source the 
products from different IC makers. This allowed Motorola SPS to 
dedicate part of their IC fab capacities to R&D. Also Motorola was in 
a period of upgrading the fab lines to more modern equipment and 
that meant second sourcig was needed to meet demand.
