I am genuinely interested in it’s history and gravitate towards all things vintage, so thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Yes, those are the original Brown Manufacturing motors. I've attached a photo of my box of motors, with Estes manufactured motors, along with a modern Estes motor (with the green ink).
Also attached is a photo of the contents of Quest's reproduction kit from 2008. The built model in front is from a company called Semroc.
