Oh wow, I was just transplanting some TC702 amplifiers to save the doubler in an old 50GHz HP signal generator... would that have been designed by these guys back when they were part of HP?
EDIT: that's registration-walled, but this HP Journal article isn't. https://archive.org/details/Hewlett-Packard_Journal_Vol._42_... The amplifiers in question are blue-colored in the background, and the doubler that uses them is the spiritual successor to the rear-most golden module.
EDIT2: yep, the timeline lines up. The HP journals with these amplifiers were early 90s, and "This division became part of Agilent Technologies when HP spun off its test and measurement business in 1999. Later, in 2005, Agilent spun off its semiconductor products group, which became Avago Technologies. "
