The 466 is a Digital Audio and can't use any other power supply because of the 28v ADC connection required. The DP 450 would be a Gig Ethernet which shares the power supply of the Digital Audio.
The power supplies are different, because the DP 450 doesn't have the ADC power connector on the motherboard, therefore it wouldn't have the power lead for it.
The Gig Ethernet does support ADC monitors. Only the Yikes! and Sawtooth do not. Since yours now turns out to be a single 400mhz and AGP and the power connector does not have the 28v pin, it has to be a Sawtooth motherboard mounted in a case labeled for a Gig Ethernet. Most likely someone pieced this Mac together from spare parts or the original case got damaged and was replaced. Here is the Gig Ethernet pinout from Apple.
