Identifying and Treating Deck: Mahogany/Ipe?

It's definitely not ipe. I have three decks built with ipe at my home, and the grain on ipe is very obvious and distinctive. Your grain looks completely different. This link shows the grain patterns of all the Brazilian hardwoods bare and with finishing oil treatment.
