Actually I think I recall seeing somewhere that they used a Rechicher 
siddur as the base for cutting and pasting for the American Tehilas 
Hashem; as an offshoot of Chabad, the Rechicher nusach was very close to 
Nusach Lubavitch.  But it was definitely a cut and paste job; in the 
older editions one can see the crooked lines where the job wasn't done 
perfectly.
