1) Brush Knee and Twist Step is, quite plainly, a Twist Step posture the lead hand and leg are opposite sides. Like a cross punch.
Repulse Monkey is a Forward Step posture, the lead hand and leg are on the same side. Like a jab.
At a gross, external, but fundamental level, they are fundamentally different, before you even start considering the details of the upper body co-ordinations.
Likewise with golden rooster, the transition from one to the other contains a retreating leg with a forward/downward pressing hand, the fundamental mechanic of this takedown.

If so, I see what you mean, and RM is indeed pretty much a jailhouse BKTS and is the purest expression of the idea.
