IIRC PowerNode was strictly the predecessor to the NP1.  Not instruction 
set compatible.

(I worked at Gould on Real time UNIX and Performance Analysis (i.e. 
running benchmarks)).

Unsure if I have an NP1 manual sitting around.  But, you might try the 
gouldbugs mailing list, on one of yahoo or google groups servers.

There were significant changes between NP1 and NP2.  I think NP2 was 
built; at least, people were paid retention bonuses to stay on until it 
was running.  (Not me: my group was sold to Motorola.)

NP3 was going to be even more different.
