I have severlal computers a printer and 2 servers with 3 switches on my network. Using Advanced IP Scanner, I can identify most of these but several are not identifiable using this app. But all items listed have associated MAC addresses. by the count of all devices on the network, every device has a MAC address. somewhere in the list of MAC adresses is the MAC address of the GS605 switch.

If you have newer iOS, iPadOS, or Android devices on your network - these can use random MAC addresses (LAA), so show up on the network under a different MAC address. If using the hardware mAC address it's a UAA.
...by the count of all devices on the network, every device has a MAC address. somewhere in the list of MAC adresses is the MAC address of the GS605 switch.
Even if you try hard - unmanaged switches have no MAC address. Review the docs GS605v5 support pages ... all models are the same.
What is the first half of the MAC address (this is the vendor OUI part) you can't associate logically with a device?
Note: There are universally administered address (UAA) when it's set by the manufacturer so most utilities can associate it with a vendor, or locally administered addresses (LAA) assigned by the system administrator or generated dynamically according to some rules.
The other two switches are some Smart Managed Plus (like the first GS108E on 10.1.10.3), Smart Managed Pro, or fully managed Netgear switch models - that' why these show up. You can use the Netgear Switch Discovery Tool available for MacOS or Windows and then enter the eact model number on NETGEAR Support Let's get started page to gain access to the switch product documentation to learn about the management and configuration options.
The 20:D1:60 device on 10.1.10.48 has a private MAC address as shown by your scanner. This is very unlikely for Netgear switch - best guess in a consumer environment might be an iOS/iPadOS, Android device, Windows 10 device, or any other device which can randomize any network (also wireless) adapter MAC, or some visualisation platforms (operating VMs) or Docker containers - almost any OS can, except of MacOS Big Sur if I have it right.
For the last time: In case your third switch is a truly a GS608 model (as shown on the product label), it is not Web configurable or manageable in any other way, and it has no MAC address (and no IP for the very same reason).
