Yes, I've grown both and if you look at the links below you'll see that they are not the same variety.

it was first introduced in 1985 and see the reason it was named Amana Orange.

Again, note the date and why it was named Golden Ponderosa.
Most of my tomato friends have moved on from Amana Orange to Kellogg's Breakfast and its PL variant and very few grow Golden Ponderosa these days.
All to say is that there are many look alikes around that one could compare with the two you mention, but the two you mention are not the same variety.
Hope that helps,
