I have looked but I am sure I am just not getting th correct search criteria but....
I have a single tank setup with and xtx50 and a xtx50 sage second. Everything I look at says these are the same refs except color. So my question is with the addition of another 1st stage and proper gauges could these be split for side mount doubles? Also my first post but I am a long time stalker so be gentle.

The green one is the "nitrox" version - which is completely unnecessary for a 2nd stage anyway.
1st stages need to be cleaned when used with >40% o2 content - but not 2nd stages.

spell check please...

The second stages are the same as @rjack321 said. You can get an extra first stage and split them up. I would look at the cost of a DST first stage plus all of the hoses and SPG's, and depending on which school of sidemount you are looking at, the cost of the 5th port kits for both. Weigh that against the cost of a new Deep6 Signature set. Support a local GA business on top of that
 
What is your current 1st stage with the xtx50? They are the same 2nd stage so yes they can be used. As tbone1004 said look at the DAT 1st stage as the turret assists with hose routing.
