Underneath it apparently says 'AX / AT' so perhaps this is switchable between XT and AT protocols.

Here's a key popped off: http://membled.com/work/keyswitch.jpeg

Anyone know what it is?

Seems very interesting, because the caps legend looks a lot like Cherry. Looks like a mix of dye sub and double shot keycaps.

Yes, the different yellowing of some keys is notable.
