I special ordered it but the boxes it came in all are labeled with

Is 36-979 the base model and all the accessories added
make up the model 36-982

I think that's correct.

or is there actually a unique saw model 36-982

I don't think so.
The 36-979 is the basic model with no fence and 2 cast wings.
Throw in another box with the commercial 30" fence, table board and
legs and it becomes the 36-982.
