Well that process doesn't seem to work that well either. I have a mouse and
keyboard that both have a UL Recognition mark. The mouse has a GS mark and
the keyboard has a Bauart mark. Of course, the reason the keyboard has the
Bauart mark rather than the GS mark is that it does not comply with the GS
requirements for a German keyboard. But that does not explain the marks on
the mouse.

TUV does have a mechanism, they issues the GS mark for products and the
Bauart mark for components.

Why would a mfr get a UL recognition approval for a commercial 
ITE style single phase 155-230vac computer style product but for 
that same product get the TUV "GS" mark?  

Mfr is a stateside company. 

Product to be used in restricted areas with trained personnel only. 
But, one that essentially anyone could buy. 

What's the advantage of getting such a mixed set of approvals? 
<<<<<<<<<<<< 

It's not really a mixed set of approvals.  UL must have considered the
device to be incomplete in some way (does it have an enclosure?), therefore
they Recognized it as a component as opposed to Listing it as a finished
product.  The GS Mark has no mechanism for delineating between components
and finished products - both can receive GS approval.  Hence the TUV GS
mark.  

That's my guess, based on the limited information you gave.
