Any modern keyboards with a similar layout to the IBM 5251?

Looking for what is basically a full keyboard (alphas, modifiers, and numpad) with the F-keys on the left side

Unfortunately no - at least not at the moment.  :(

There has been a 65% + F-keys on the left.

A 60% + Numpad (UK78 (hard to find), M0lly (GB currently running), Vortex ViBE (relatively easy to find)).

I found clues that there once was a "Red Scarf II+" keyboard in 4 different versions. One of these versions was called "Model F" and had the layout we are seeking.

Tangential, and not modern, but the Northgate Omnikey Ultra had a couple of models with Alpha keys left.
