What is the Dual DMS 220?

Title says it all really. Dual, when making their own carts, lots of times rebranded other makers cartridges. For example they have lots of ortofon cartridges branded under Dual DNxy. I think this might be the case with the DMS 220 as well, but as a rebranded Audio Technica model.
Now, the question is, what insides does the outside hide? The stylus looks a bit like the one used on the AT 70/71/72 etc series, but not exactly. Could the DMS 220 be a proprietary version of the AT 70?
Pics for reference.

Yup, it would surely look like being based on the AT70 family generator capsule - but yes, Dual unfortunately for quite a while had the habit to order customised variants, that are/were incompatible with the regular AT needles, despite in some cases looking extremely similar. The latter for example goes for the Dual MCC110E/120E models, which are ever so slightly different than AT's own AT31E/30E/30HE/50MC family.
