Doesn't look like any IBM at all. But wondering what it is instead.

I believe it's an NEC APC-H4120

I believe it has NEC oval switches, probably the blue ones.

Decent keyboard, I have 2 of them. Depending on condition some of the keys could be scratchy. It bings a tad sometimes, but I like old boards

I asked the donor and they replied it's a NEC indeed!

Will be my first vintage board and pretty excited. Do wonder if there would any chance at all to get the PS/2 working on my mac though via an adapter of some sort.
If the board works at all.
