No, these are the ones I got a year ago for the 1981 truck camper. The battery box is inside (bad design--not a sealed, vented box) and the fumes from Wet cells would set off the LP alarm I installed.
I have not yet decided if I want/need those other AGMs.
EDIT--this morning I found the Tri saying 13.5v and 000 amps with the charging light flickering. (When you adjust the voltage with the batteries still connected you don't see on the charger's voltmeter exactly what you dialled in until later when the batteries adjust to the new voltage, so I didn't quite get 13.7 as intended). So I dialled it up to 13.7 and amps went to 1.4 on the pair to get them up to 13.7, then started to taper. I will see where that all settles later. I'll get their Float right eventually, allowing also for temperature. Love having an adjustable voltage charger working with the ammeter! :)
Anyway, having the ammeter on the job means I can now look after the AGMs properly. (Thanks to folks here with AGMs describing what to look for on that.)
