I pulled an odd transistor off a board and altho I had never heard of
that alphanumeric designation before, by googling for it, I found it
easily on the ON Semi website. The transistor is the LA733P, and from
the specs it seems like just an ordinary PNP transistor, nothing special
about it. The board has numerous H 945 transistors which are the
generic 2SC945 clones. If this transistor is so ordinary, it seems odd
that the designers wouldn't just use another PNP version of the '945
instead. I think one choice would be the 'not uncommon' 2SB838.

Then I got to thinking about it, and the thought occurred to me that ON
might be playing the Fairchild game where they change the letters at the
beginning, like the 2SA Japanese letters are changed to KSA. So I
compared the specs of the 2SA733 with the LA733P, and I found that since
they're both small signal transistors, the specs aren't all that much
different, but then they're not all that much the same either. For
instance, the 2SA is 250mW and 125 degrees, whereas the LA is 625mW and
150 degrees. So the jury is still out on whether or not they're
equivalent.
The datasheets can be found at the above URL. Thanks for any comments.
