Michael, in his book "Mesquite Cookery" 1986, he shows this:
"Memphis Style Dry bbq Seasoning". Might be the same as your "Memphis
Rubdown", might not be too.

1 T garlic powder
1 T onion powder
1 T white pepper
1 T black pepper
1 T chili powder
1 T ground red pepper
1 T cumin
2 T paprika

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, and pour into salt shaker. Sprinkle on
chops or ribs during cooking for "dry" bbq flavor. When ribs are
ready, shake over meat to taste and serve. Use this method along with
bbq sauces for an extra spicy effect. Makes 1/2 cup.
