The Realforce is called 88u in ISO layouts because they are named after how many keys they have, and ISO TKL layout has one key more than ANSI TKL.
The Keyboard Company (http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/german-realforce-88ub-45g-key-black-on-black-mini-keyboard.asp) in the UK has the 88UB (black on black) in German layout.

As to Leopold, they are relatively new in Europe. I have seen only the FC660M and FC980M in ISO layouts so far.

Do you know if the 88U does exit in white/grey?

It may be that The Keyboard Company could have an exclusive deal with Topre for European layouts in Europe. You'd better ask them.
