Yes, it's the same Sage IV model.  I'm familiar with 'Agony'.  I met Dale Luck last year and he let me get my grubby hands on Agony to help revive it (still ongoing...).  I've added pictures of the Sage IV I just received to the group of photos of the Amiga Development System at:

The Sage IV pictures are the last in the batch.
