CR and LF were invented as codes, along with the teletypewriter, by Douglas Murray around 1900. Original Baudot (ITA#1) and other earlier telegraph codes were one-dimensional with no concept of lines.
Perhaps someone with institutional access to his paper, Setting type by telegraph, can see whether it discusses the intent of the pair.

You can download it from sci-hub. I just want to point out how ridiculous it is that a document that is obviously out of copyright is paywalled by these publishers.
