P-P-P Penguin is R-R-R Right, as long as the Diff Phase spec is good in signal path, no problem. Early B&W transmitters (used for early color) prone to this problem.
US in 1940s should have taken the advice of some (Philco) and gone with higher res (700, 800 lines) but still, 525/60 NTSC would have been a good evolution from 405/50 for England in the late 50's as well as an original system for Aust/NZ (completing NTSC for the Pacific Rim). Would have made program distribution distribution a lot easier. To hell with non-English-speaking Continental Europe, let them keep their 625/50 (frame rate too slow for good motion) and their PAL (w/ its "Hanover Blinds" & half vert chroma resolution) and they can keep their Euro currency - which England wisely rejected.
