I sure Elecraft can answer this better.  I would make a guess that 
power supplies in much equipment is bought from a vendor and 
installed as a module; the vendor having taken care of all necessary 
certifications.  Perhaps in high volume production the PS is ordered 
to the manufacturers spec but supplied by a vendor the makes power supplies.

The Basecom20 is sold by Motorola but it is identical to the Astron 
R20.  My guess Motorola contracts Astron to manufacture the power 
supply re-labled for Motorola to sell.

When I was making custom equipment I didn't build the power supply as 
it was cheaper to buy something off-shelf at wholesale.
