No, Tri-Ex was first, around since the 60's, maybe before. There were
several intermediate owners/operators before Tashjian, who pretty much
bought all the mfg, designs, etc.
The towers and models are "almost" identical, which is to say Tash has made
modifications & improvements over the years, so there are subtle
differences, the designs have evolved, but you need to look closely to find
the changes.
I have a circa-1970 LM-470D which is definitely a Tri-Ex. I obtained it from
a SK estate and refurbished & installed it in the late 1990's. I have some
Tri-Ex catalog and data sheets from the period, as well as a hard-copy
Tri-Ex manual plus a thick notebook of installation data, etc. Regret that
it is not in digital format, and scanning it all is beyond my available time
& motivation.
A friend of mine installed a new Tash LM470 a few years ago, and it is
surprisingly similar to mine.
I can't address your BAMA questions.

That is interesting, and indeed it appears several towers had common
nomenclature and design under both the Tri-Ex and the Tashjian corporate
names. It appears that the Tri-Ex Tower Corporation name in Visalia CA was
established after the Tashjian Tower Corporation was moved from Frontier
CA???? Maybe someone can elaborate on the history.
I have a couple of Tri-Ex manuals (not Tashjian) not on 'bama', already
scanned into .pdf documents for what I have. I'd try again to download them
to 'bama' but wonder if 'bama' would load them as Tashjian or Tri-Ex (two
legally different companies even if the owner(s) were common). Both towers
have Tri-Ex ID plates - I'd never have thought of looking for them under
Tashjian. The last other product manuals I downloaded to 'bams' never ended
up in the mix and I was unable to get a response on why.
Who is familiar with how the Directories get established on 'bama' and could
clue me in. I'd be happy to download them but would want them under the
Tri-Ex label not Tashjian???

The BAMA site (http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/) has several Tri-Ex tower
manuals listed under "tashjian". They are accepting new manuals for upload.

I have a Tri-Ex catalog from 1969. I was able to help out another fellow
ham get some information I had on some obsolete towers. If a hosted place
is found for my ancient manual, I would be glad to scan and forward the
scan file.

As Tri-Ex is now gone; it would be really nice to get all the manuals &
all catalogs =as many as we can find, & get them hosted someplace!
73 Dave Enjoy the ride!

I can get them scanned at high res to PDF for those interested.
I don't mind paying the shipping. If you want to send them my way let me
know and I'll shoot you my address and a quick paypal.

Cleaning out the shack.
I have a 5-1/2 X 8-1/2 Tri-Ex Tower Corporation catalog from
1990, 14 sheets printed both sides, covering the towers and
accessories available from them at that time, including a
pricelist.
I will send it postage page to someone who wants it. I
suspect I may receive several requests and if so, I will, at
the middle of next week, throw all in a jar and have the XYL
draw one to whom I?ll mail it.
Don?t know if this document is archived someplace. I didnt
find it on bama. Some good info on some old towers no longer
made.

I agree w/Karen,
Please allow someone to put it up in a .pdf file so all can see.
I'd also like to see the manuals as I've lost mine after 15 years since
last operation. Long time to be qrt but I'm trying to move & completely
rebuild my station.
If I can get the scans I can convert them for you.
