The mini-SPG is from Oceanic, and it is not acceptable for stage bottles.
It is very difficult to read unless you are looking directly into the 
gauge face, which in some cases can require you to roll the bottle about,
and in the case of a poseidon reg with a forward or rear facing (on a stage
orientation) HP port, even worse. The are marginally suitable for an O2 deco
bottle, where you just have to know empty of full, which you should have checked
on the surface anyway.
