I know, but odds are I'll get competitive and outbid them and win it anyways.

This looks like a terminal keyboard (looking at the plug end), so you'll have to make up a soarer adapter if it is.

Not such a determining factor: the 1390120 and variants for late XTs also lacks the LEDs.

And welcome to GH!

Except 1390120 have silver label whereas this one is white. But I don't know my Model M terminals so...
