Yes, they were indeed double branded and one might even say triple-branded. When Mosrite was slow in delivering a Ventures model amp, the Ventures hired an un-named engineer to design one.
The Ventures then found Award, a consumer electronics company in Minneapolis, to build it. Award insisted thier name would be on the amp. The Ventures paid Semie Mosley a few thou to allow them to put the Mosrite name on the amp. The Ventures also put their own badge on the amp. You can see all three badges at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDhbgn9E6Rs
