Your original point was that all MD equipment is rebadged Sony or Sharp,
and that simply isn't true. Aiwa isn't even a rebadged Sony. I don't
know what you consider "rebadged", but to me rebadged means the
internals IDENTICAL and the exterior cosmetics are the only difference.
Rebadged does NOT mean "uses some components from this manufacturer".
Rebadged does NOT mean functionally dissimilar. So I don't see how I
could have confirmed your point.

So they share the same chips, that doesn't mean they are rebadged
versions of an existing Sony model. If they were, the entire PCB would
be interchangeable between units.
Sharing technology is totally different from rebadging.
