That redirection confirms that you don't live in USA, Canada or Mexico.
They are essentially the same game, but they are still 2 separate versions. You can own them both.
33550 shows up as "Time of Shadows" in your Steam library and 33540 as "Dawn of Magic 2", no matter where you live.
It is just the Steam Store that shows you only one or the other.

The winner can mark as received, and all is ok for the giveaway creator.
But it does make a difference in this sense for the winner:
The correct version of the game won't register as owned. Because when the computer checks, they check using those ID-numbers:
If you claim giving away version 33550 at SteamGifts but you actually give away version 33540,
then the winner activates version 33540 and it won't match what is recorded at SteamGifts.

It seems this game is not yet bundled: https://www.steamgifts.com/bundle-games
If they do it correctly they should add only https://steamcommunity.com/app/33540 to the bundled.
However, usually in these cases both versions get bundled even though https://steamcommunity.com/app/33550/ should remain unbundled.

Looks like this issue is now resolved for the most part.
You can now give away only version http://store.steampowered.com/app/33540/ which is the correct bundled version.
The only remaining issue is that the title of the game here is still "Time of Shadows" but Steam store link is ok, and image shows correct "Dawn of Magic 2".

Cool... I thought it wasn't bundled so I bought the game and now I see the title was incorrect... SteamGifts support could at least fix the title at BundleGames

edit: The issue is now mostly resolved. The giveaway listing now shows only the bundled "Dawn of Magic 2" version. However, you can't find it unless you search for "Time of shadows"
There are 2 versions of this game. Currently SG shows them both with a title "Time of Shadows", here is a screenshot of the giveaway listing as it is on March 30, 2016 : http://i.imgur.com/Mxcc9Lg.png
If you are giving away a copy from any Indie Gala bundle, you should make sure you give away version with Steam store link:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/33540/
SG actually shows the correct title logo image for this version on the giveaway listing.
The version with Steam store link http://store.steampowered.com/app/33550/ is called "Time of Shadows" worldwide, but it is officially sold only in North America only. You don't get this version from the Indie Gala bundle.
app 33550 shows up as "Time of Shadows" in your public Steam library and app 33540 as "Dawn of Magic 2", no matter where you are located.
It is just the Steam Store that shows you only one or the other, depending where you are located.
Steam Community pages show the different titles worldwide:
Dawn of Magic 2: https://steamcommunity.com/app/33540
Time of Shadows: https://steamcommunity.com/app/33550
If you give away the wrong version there will be issues such as the game won't be detected as owned after the giveaway, because they will own app 33540 version instead of app 33550 or vice versa.
I don't understand why not program a solution to show the titles of the non-NA version games correctly. Almost all the issues regarding these games with 2 versions would get resolved.
Especially in this case, the 2 versions have completely different name so it shouldn't be an issue to let them both be available to give away. Or at least it should be the bundle version specifically that can be given away, not the now much rarer and unbundled NA version.The games themselves aren't region restricted, both versions activate anywhere.This same issue concerns for example:
"Painkiller Black Edition" / "Painkiller: Gold Edition": http://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/rqAhXzG (resolved)
"Check vs Mate" / "Battle vs Chess": http://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/19V2CsO (unresolved)
