Origins of the 30BR?

After reading the daily bulletin, I thought about the history of the 30BR.

Would it be correct in stating that the concept was originated by Frank Barnes? The .308X1.5" he designed in 1961 was not technically a "BR" case, but according to "Cartridges of the World" Mike Walker based the Remington BR upon the .308X1.5".
