Digging through the unreleased and deleted B-sides from the 1985-1988 Orion singles catalog.

On track 9's instrumental cut, the 14.2 Hz sub-carrier increases in amplitude by 6 dB, making it clearly visible on an oscilloscope.
Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies.

Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986?

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal.
