I'm not sure about this, but how to distinguish them
properly otherwise?

At least those Informant games I have and checked use the
NAGs in numeric values as they should be used and seem to
distinguish them on the numeric level, that is including the
several stages and colours. In a way I do not really like
the idea of dropping this information in a symbolic
description by flattening it out and use the same symbol all
the time.
On the other hand cheap things like Fritz allow only for a
hand full of NAGs. However, I think we should be definitely
better than Fritz. (This is not hard to achieve anyway,
IMHO.)

Note: it is just the DISPLAY of the NAG. It can easily be
changed to anything you like, I could even map all of them
to one single symbol, but this looses information. I don't
think this is clever, I'm not sure that just as some company
is careless is a good reason to be careless as well.
Especially not if we can do better. But as I say, it's just
a translation table, we're pretty flexible here. One could
even imagine of loading this table from a config. (This
would, however, require a bit of additional work.)
Other opinions?
