The Motorola ROG Program was an attempt in 1971 to simplify inventory of replacement transistors by creating a single new replacement number for a dozen or so discrete numbers. Sort of like what NTE and ECG do. Motorola billed the program as "Replace 90 Transistors with 6."

ROG02 is actually 48R 83750G02, a PNP Germanium TO-3 cased transistor most often used as a 2N176 or M9083 replacement. I seem to recall those were used as either power supply or audio output transistors in Motracs. Not really rare or sought after.
