The Plus/4 version was not issued by Berkeley Softworks in the US. Somewhere I have a Computes Gazette with an interview with Brian whats-his-name, the head of BS, where he stated that the Plus/4 market was not large enough to justify coding a Plus/4 version.
I will agree that 'unknown' people may have released a compatiable version.
Your post reminded me of a Germoan GEOS 2.5 for the 64: http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/%7Eneuvians/Geos25.htm . Please note that Berkeley Softworks sold the Commodore version rights to CMD, who has recently sold them to Maurice Randall as CMD exits the Commodore business. CMD had previously threatened legal action to stop further development of GEOS without their input or permissions.
Maurice Randall has quickly released a new version for the 64 and 128, which leads me to think that he had not stopped development, but had just stopped publicising that he was working on it. http://www.ia4u.net/%7Emaurice/index.htm
