From what I've read, they are very different varieties (different origins) - use of Queen/King/Beauty/Monarch, etc seemed to be very common back in the initial tomato development days. So Golden Queen (Livingston) is essentially identical to Buist's Golden Monarch. And, Olds lists Golden Beauty as a synonym for Golden Queen.
I suspect that some of these mysteries will never be completely unraveled - so much reselecting/renaming, or just plain renaming without any reselecting, was pretty common...just to position various companies with having "exclusive" varieties (gee...just like what goes on today!)
