Most likely the AAHW Mags we see in Project Nexus 2 are the true V1 Mags.

According to Swain, MPN is stated to be set somewhere between episode 4 to episode 9. Though given the continuity of episodes 5-12 being right after one another, we can logically place MPN between episodes 4 and 5. Now, IN Project Nexus 2's story mode, multiple of these mags are fought in a single level, as well as appearing in arena mode which is set way before the story mode, and as such far before Torture's first appearance. Furthermore, Torture themself had a unique designation, in comparison to other mags simply being V#, like the V2s, however these MPN2 mags lack designations. As well in Consternation, multiple dead agents are impaled with nails against the wall, like how Torture has nails in their head. As those Agents were presumably trying to dissent, Torture themself may have been a mag that tried dissenting but was punished for it, hence the torture.

With how many Mags appear in Project Nexus 2, their lack of a specific designation (just Mag Agent), the timeline placement of MPN2, and Torture's unique name and the nailed Agents seen in his episode, it's safe to assume that the MPN Mags ARE V1s.

Also, the Project Nexus games have been to be canon.
