Motorola was among the first adopters of intercarrier sound. I don't think Motorola ever made a split sound set post WWII.
A good contrast between RCA and Motorola is to compare their 630 to The VT-71. RCA was built to perform and be stable cost and parts count be damned, Motorola was built to have the lowest practical parts count that could perform stably. A similar comparison could be drawn between a CTC17 and a Motorola with a SODPIL single tube chroma circuit.... Only the RCA was less reliable due to PCBs and the Motorola wasn't as stable or good performing from asking a heck of a lot from that one tube....
