Yes, it's the same, but it's not just any old Tange Prestige, it's Tange Prestige Concept. I think the tapered and ovalised top and down tubes made it stronger and quite a bit more expensive than the base Prestige MTB tubeset.

Yep, my 1994 is Tange prestige Concept, and as far as I know they continued this for a couple more years.
