I'm not sure, but I think the answer is "no".  This one has a jumper
that switches it between 1600x1280 and 1152x900, and it has the old
Sun-3-compatible "DB-9" connector rather than the more modern 13W3
sort.  I think I've seen 13W3 bwtwos that have no jumpers at all and
hence probably can't change resolutions.

It also takes nearly twice as much video RAM (1152*900=1036800, vs
1600*1280=2048000), so the cheaper ones probably don't have enough bits
to do it.
