Are those UL Recognized Components or UL Listed Products? I'm guessing they are Recognized Components, since they do not have the AC Mains connections yet (with switch & fuse & grounding, etc.)?

What do the UL labels look like on those power supplies? I've used them in products before, but don't remember what the labels looked like...

I just found an image that looked [STRIKE]like[/STRIKE] similar to the open frame supplies I used years ago. At that time, they had this label:

I'm guessing that the supplies you used before were the versions that included the power-entry module (IEC connector, fuse, switch). They come in both versions -- with and without power entry module -- for some of the models. When there is no power entry module (just connector lugs for the AC Mains input from a separate power entry module), they almost certainly will be UL Recognized Components, I believe, like the UR(backwards) logo on this open frame power supply:

Yes. If I remember correctly, the power-in leads were to be soldered to Line (fuse), Neutral, and Ground terminals.
 
No, I am not going to design anything. I am just looking for some parts, so I can hand them for electrical expert to check the options

it's time to show him those datasheets and let him decide whether he wants to undertake redesigning around a different core.
