Very loosely speaking.  You're referring to DECUS ALGOL, by Barry Folsom and Greg Hosler.  It implements a language that resembles Burroughs Extended Algol, and the output is a pseudo-machine binary that could be described as a 16-bit version of the Burroughs mainframe instruction set.  But I don't see any evidence that it was actually based on any Burroughs code.

I have the RSTS port of that thing (by Terry Grieb and myself); I haven't found the RT version, at least not the runtime library.
