What is this keyboard?

It has a 122 layout and a IBM logo, but I don't think it looks like any model M varints.
Could anyone please tell me what it is ?

It looks like a late-revision IBM Model M for IBM terminals. Terminal keyboards have a modular connector (like a network jack), somewhat different legends on keycaps than the PC keyboards, and no lock lights.

Unicomp still makes them but for regular PCs, in black, BTW.
