Hi Tom. I have seen Waste King Universal. And just Universal. Are they the same?
After the purchase of Universal by WasteKing, they were. Universal was an older manufacturer of gas cooking appliances and WasteKing was the established maker of garbage disposers that now had a dishwasher, the "HOT" appliance in the late 50s/early 60s. If Universal had bought WasteKing, it would be Universal Waste King, not the reverse.
There were two Universal cooking lines. The gas one and the electric one which was made by Landers & Frary in CT. Landers & Frary made major and small electrical appliances. GE bought the small appliance line's name and used it for a brief time for their Premium Line designation: General Electric/Universal. I have a hand mixer and a waffle iron from this line. The Universal is below the General Electric and there is a border around the word "Universal".

Absolutely, Hans. That was one of the brands of dishwashers made by D&M that CU always named when mentioning how they started showing rust in the sump during the testing.
