Yes, they are related.

"That ...[typo-deleted], after all, was the rationale for a Scientific
Interactive Command Language with Forth as its assembler" was intended
to indicate that the rationale for the former and the rationale for
the latter are the same rationale, and that their relationship is that
they have the same rationale.

If you prefer:
*The rationale for* preferring pattern language in common use over
some modification, *the rationale for* the idea of the Scientific ICL,
those two rationales are the same rationale.
