Hmm, it's close to Gill but I don't think that's it - the Q tail in Gill doesn't penetrate, the "V" in the "M" doesn't touch baseline, front foot on the "R" is curved rather than straight, the center arm on the "E" and "F" are even rather than staggered, caps "J" crosses baseline, etc...
It's closer to the old typewriter fonts, I've seen them referred to as exotic Gothic's ("Art Gothic", "Bulletin Gothic") which nobody has bothered making into fonts. Eg the "Remie Scout" key font is nearly identical:
And the type sample isn't bad either:
But you're saying that it would be impractical to get a set like these cut? How much are we talking... $1k, $10k, $100k?
