Shipping is high to the US but it seems like a neat keyboard. I think it's this one: https://deskthority.net/wiki/IBM_P70/P75_keyboard

That fold down foot is a really unique design, a shame I'm already drowning in project boards (not that this necessarily needs work, its probably plug (into a converter) and play, its just a bit too similar to other boards I already have).

That "foot" is actually the hinge it connects to the computer with. It's a fold-down module off a portable computer. I reviewed it ages ago, it's a really nice keyboard actually (built like arse though).
