I suspect the OP has a compression brake, since I have never heard of nor seen a 2-stage exhaust brake. Whether it is actually a real Jake Brake or merely a jake-brake type system I don't know.
This quote...."Two stage pressure control increase in the back pressure with the help of a butterfly valve can also be achieved by operating in two stages i.e. two valves can be used. This also ensures the efficient working of valve and long its long life by avoiding valve failure. Such type of arrangement is found to be very useful in case of heavy duty trucks. Because to create sufficient back pressure to slow down the engine speed, it requires large force from the valve which is possible by two valves arrangement.".......was...Taken From Here
with a pic included for a variable exhaust brake.
