Golden Comets and Cinnamon Queens are both versions of Red Sex-Links (just different hatchery strains), so yes, they are the same. Production Reds are not the same as Red Sex-Links, and they are not color sexable. Production Reds are simply red hatchery birds, usually with some New Hampshire Red or Rhode Island Red in their ancestry. Both Red Sex-Links and Production Reds lay lots of large brown eggs; they are similar in that respect.

The big difference is the production red breed true, if you breed a male PR to a female PR the offspring is readily identifiable as a PR. Sex links don't breed true. A sex link bred to a sex link gives a hodge-podge of different looking offspring.

Red sex link is a generic term. There are several brand names: Gold comets, cinnamon queens, red stars, golden buffs, ISA browns, etc. Each hatchery has their own special recipe to make a red sex link.
