Looks like PS/2 and has a standard layout with no Windows keys but four LEDs and what looks like a function key overlay. Can anyone identify it and is it anything interesting?

Looks like a Model M clone, or something similar to me...but I'm not positive.

Kinda reminds me of those old HP keyboards... Have you given the seller the usual 'show me a pic of the label+under the keycap' treatment? =P

I have a dim memory of some keyboards having a Pause light.
Edit> Or was it "Turbo" ?

Yeah, that's the impression I had as well.

Nope, I've no intention of buying it - I'm just posting in case anyone finds it interesting.

Did anyone contact the seller about this one? It's been relisted here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Computer-Keyboard_W0QQitemZ110411976789QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_ComputerComponents_KeyboardsMice?hash=item19b5111055&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A10%7C294%3A50).
