I'll try to give a closer look once I get to episodes 7 and 8 on my re-watch, bit my initial reaction to Gideon's clothing was that it was fairly standard Imperial/Tie attire, albeit somewhat reminiscent of Director Krennic's outfit/cloak. And that Krennic impression may have had as much to do with the squad of Death Troopers as it did the clothes. But otherwise, after first viewing, I'd say you're overthinking it, and that it's the first time we've seen anybody from the Imperial Security Bureau.
