I'm sure I read an explanation of where it came from, but
right now I cannot find it. Someone will doubtless chip in
soon with an answer.
I think the later models were deliberately multiples
of the earlier ones (twice as good, etc.)

I don't know when phone freaking started in the US, probably
the 1960s. It was certainly established early in the 1970s,
which is when the "Cap'n Crunch" stuff happened. So it's
possible, but I suspect that the explanation is more prosaic.
