The 'Wing' is actually a "Winged Foot" - the symbol of the Greek God Mercury - so perhaps the board is a 'Mercury' version?

This is the debug port of the slot A Athlon. You can read more about it here:
http://www.hardware-one.com/reviews.asp?aid=178&page=1
It allowed access to the CPU multiplier, so overclockers constructed "gold finger devices" that plug onto the debug port, and allow selection of multiplier with dip switches. |

Yep, classic "gold finger" hack.
Can change voltage as well. |
