It's eBay, they throw buzzwords that they see selling even if they're wrong.

AFAIK, every one of those boards is Olivetti dome with slider (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Olivetti_dome_with_slider).

I think I remember seeing somewhere that one of the AT&T boards (not this one) was actually a Model M/F clone.

Such a shame. Those caps are dope.

Actually the LEDs are in the right place to be Keytronic foam and foil - but even if so, that's equally as disappointing as dome.

Sure looks cool, though. What kind of connector is that? Could you convert it?
