Have you confirmed that this board is MX?  Those old Siemens boards can be rubber dome or some other unidentified mechanical switch.

I don't think the buyers are concerned about these being MX, which they almost certainly aren't. It's just about getting something cool and weird for the collection!
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

I think I've seen this board before here on GH or on DT, but for another language than Greek.

I think the OP thinks it's a nixdorf due to similar keycaps:


you may remember this guy:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=31779.msg1328045#msg1328045

and this guy was posted at both I think? It was around the same time, IIRC

Pretty sure these are those RAFI like switches or RD.
