These *should* have a fixed 5 pin DIN connector and have the less common 102/103 key layout with an extra key on the numpad and have a square logo on the right hand side of the keyboard instead of the more standard left side.

Blue-printed "ACCEPT" ESC key is less common, Also the "ACCEPT" enter key on the other is very uncommon. That said, they are normal terminal keyboards.

Just a few corrections.
The extra key is not "less common" per se, it's rather a staple of terminal model M keyboards.

"square logo" is always on that side for model Ms. (even 122 key ones) Since terminal Ms lagged behind in visual features from the normal 1391401's, this one is from the "beige logo" era.
