Well I've never seen one of those before. Is the plate flat like an M2? And is the space bar the same size as a wheelwriter code key? I know that's a typical bottom row for Japanese keyboards.

From memory, this is Model M type hammers, but each key is an individual barrel.

So, like a model F with a plate and individual barrels? Even more interesting. I'd like to see how it's all held together.

Not quite like an F plate.  This gif is a cutaway of one:
