They've done some breeding tests - both are recessive to wild type, stripe is recessive to motley, what they use to think was "stripe - motley" is actually just one of the effects motley can have even without the stripe gene.
From 2008 CMG:
The stripe allele appears to be recessive to motley allele. ... It was previously considered codominant with motley and intermediate phenotypes were expected, but that theory has been proven false.
pg 87
The intermediate forms seem to be result of other influences, and happens even with homo motley.
So - motley and stripe have motley phenotype, and thus is now being called "motley het stripe" ----- I decided my old sig was too big.
