You see the guy selling the keys off a brother typewriter that apparently fitted Topre? I think his was an AX-26 but there were stacks in the range, perhaps you could track some down cheap to try? Note that I have no clue if all models in the range would have keys that fit, but could be a cheap option to try.

like this one? these look very similar to the keys he had.

Those are long gone man. I honestly think that anyone who has a Topre should try to hunt down one of these vintage Brother keyboards and at least give the keycaps a chance but the fit and profile isn't perfect so I'm pretty sure this isn't what Bunny wants.
