I looked it up myself and found these for t. dioxide with the 2 different CAS 
#'s:
http://www.lookchem.com/cas-418/4189-44-0.html
http://www.thiourea-dioxide-fas.com/   <--CAS# 1758-73-2

This is what I found for my thiourea:
http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/t3107.htm

I won't pretend I know anything about what's on those pages as I'm just looking 
for the practical application of the compound with this toner.  
I used my thiourea anyway as I was in a testing mode yesterday and did get 
toning, albeit very slowly, of the prints I had bleached with the 
ferricyanide/pot. bromide combo.  That may be my "practical" answer right 
there, 
but since I work w/chemicals w/o getting into molecular structures and 
formulas, 
I'm hoping someone who does might know the answer if it's 'worth' looking into 
getting the t. dioxide or not.

Sources I looked at gave different yet presumably equvilant structures for 
those 
two cas #s
 
Thiourea is different.
 
???
Thiourea sulfoxide?
 
Did you mean thiourea dioxide rather than sulfoxide?
(Can you supply the CAS # for that?)
