  I apply the same logic in the next block

  <xsl:template match="BODY">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="TABLE | TABLE/TR | TABLE/TR/TD"/>
        </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>

  Then why doesnt the result contain duplicate <BODY> tags ?

presumably this template is never applied.
If it were applied it would mangle your table elements as you process
separately all TABLE TR and TD elements, so teh result of processing
these elements would all come out at the same level, not contained one
within the other.

If you only want to process TABLE children of BODY then you want



            <xsl:apply-templates select="TABLE"/>

And of again you don't want <xsl:copy-of select="."/> unless you want
the entire input BODY copied with no change.
