I have no clue about that. But yes, it is very similar to the Konami code. Basically its the same except a bit shorter!

Interesting enough.
I'll do a little bit research because it's odd enough for ex-IREM team to use other company's cheat code. I mean it's not a big deal but I'm curious to find out why :)

I just went to youtube and captured Level 3 screen shot of both Pulstar (Aicom) and Salamander (Konami).
The art style in both games are very similar. It may not prove anything as I tried to look at the ending credits in both games, programmers in the 80/90 like to use initial, nickname or some crazy names to hide their identities (Sega, Konami, Capcom, etc....) so it's hard to know who is the main programmer. But at least Pulstar consists Irem & Konami styles............

Just for my personal observation and it may not mean anything.......
