This gets a bit closer. Note that you don't want to mix t's and z's. - ivreg2- from ssc will by default use z's, as does -suest- by default.

use http://pped.org/card.dta, clear
ivreg2 lwage exper nearc4, nohead r
scalar b1=_b[nearc4]
scalar s1=_se[nearc4]
ivreg2 educ exper nearc4, nohead r
scalar b2=_b[nearc4]
scalar s2=_se[nearc4]

qui reg lwage exper nearc4
est sto r1
qui reg educ exper nearc4, nohe
est sto r2
suest r1 r2
mat v=e(V)
matrix cov=v["r1_mean:nearc4","r2_mean:nearc4"]
scalar c=cov[1,1]

scalar one = b1 / b2 * sqrt((s2 / b2)^2+(s1 / b1)^2-2*c / b1 / b2)
nlcom [r1_mean]_b[nearc4]/[r2_mean]_b[nearc4]
mat vv = r(V)
scalar two = sqrt(vv[1,1])
di %15.12f one " " %15.12f two " " %15.12f one-two
