Those keys, if they are not remakes, are from a Dolch keyboard.
Referenced at Deskthority: http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=100

There have been attempts to reuse the colors in recent GB Rounds (One and Three) but I don't believe anybody has done a buy for those legends on those colors to do the exact remake of a Dolch.

I thought the Dolch replicas were centered? Lister's filco doesn't look like it has either? Was there a difference between GB1 and GB3 of these?

Yep, they are vintage Dolch. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=dolch+pac&_sacat=58058&_odkw=dolch&_osacat=58058&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313 unfortunately no current auctions for keyboard only, so it would be some expensive keycaps.

I see. They look so sexy. But there's no way to justify a 475 dollar plastic keyset.

Yea, I agree. You just have to wait for someone to put up a broken Dolch and then snag it when you can. I was bidding on one in Germany (ebay.de) but I lost. I didn't wanna spend 30euros and then not have a plan on how to get it shipped to me.
