They didn't reverse engineer much consumer stuff as it's a difficult and expensive process. It was mostly done to provide commercial and military equipment which had US export restrictions - PDP-11 computers, B29 bombers, that sort of thing. Anybody who has been inside a Selena B215 radio will confirm that the design is very idiosyncratic.
