Hard to know if this is a photo problem

plots twist, it has no keycaps since they are not pictured :eek:

Pretty sure it's just bad white balance. I have a 42H1292, and this looks just like it, if the photo were taken with a potato, in bad lighting.
The label is likely correct, and to confirm, it almost certainly appears to have the non-detachable PS/2 cable.

If the white balance were off, then the foam must be severely discolored.
I have seen less of this type of foam get discolored than I have keyboard cases.
Yet the cable also appears to have this same tint. Take a look at the tape, it has the same yellowed tint that I have seen in other NIb vintage boards, if the color balance is off in the photo then that color would have also shifted.
I vote that the colors in the image are more or less true to life.

I don't know, but that's a very good price if it is industrial!

Pretty sure that this is a regular model m. You can tell by looking at the second picture.
