Looks like it's a fixed layout based on the plate. Difference in pcbs is hotswap and soldered.

I would be interested if split backspace is supported, for the rest I think you are right, looks fixed.

I'm ok with fixed layout as for something like this specific I would require at least US ISO. Cant pass on this beautiful design from the alps as skiing lover lol
