Assuming that each value is on its own line (cr delimited), I would...

repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines of tListA
   if line i of tListA is not among the lines of tListB then put line i of
tListA & cr after tUniqueOfA
end repeat
put tUniqueOfA

Then reverse it...

repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines of tListB
   if line i of tListB is not among the lines of tListA then put line i of
tListB & cr after tUniqueOfB
end repeat
put tUniqueOfB
