No, according to its name a HOG drive uses a tilting hemisphere that spins in one axis (parallel to the hemisphere's circle), whereas these use a full sphere that can spin in 2 axes.
Swerve (and mecanum) technology has progressed a lot since 2003, so today there are much simpler and better ways of making a true omnidirectional drive compared to this pseudo-omnidirectional drive.
