In the process of cleaning up our reports and ran across this strange anomaly:
There are two users in a Profile that appear to have Sys Admin "like" visibility into Report Folders as they see all of the same folders that I do (?) So it isn't a Profile setting... Something must be set somewhere that gives them this access but for the life of me I can't find it! Any help is greatly appreciated.

It turned out to be a "Permission set" that had been created with these two users that granted them System permission to "Manage Reports in Public Folders" This overrode the Folder Share settings and allowed them to have CRED rights for all Public folders. Now I know!
Report folder access is less influenced by profile than it is by roles. When you speak of Sales guys, I associate that you are speaking of a sales profile.
However, apart from profiles a user can be assigned a role. Depending on what role they have, they may have access to more than what other users access. You should definitely double-check if the sharing settings for folders include roles or groups where those two sales users are included, also by checking parent roles.
