Yeah, "Warn" isn't same as "Warner" but there is some historic relationship, 
apparently.

This from: http://www.hermtheoverdriveguy.com/id21.htm


Besides the popular Warn overdrive, there is another type you might find on 
an old Jeep.  The Borg-Warner overdrive is different than the Warn 
overdrive.  It was originally designed for two wheel drive applications.  An 
adapter kit was once available to mount one behind the Dana 18 transfer 
case.  The rear driveshaft had to be shortened.  Overdrive was only useable 
in 2WD.  The Borg-Warner unit was a forerunner of the Warn overdrive.  Once 
the Warn unit was introduced in the early 1960's, sales dropped off 
considerably because of the complex installation.  Borg-Warner Overdrive 
Manuals can be seen here.

Might be interesting to some...
