what kind of layout has a std sized \ key

I'm looking to replace some portugese keycaps from a cherry MX switch keyboard to EN-US caps
I notice that the \ key is the same size as the regular keys, and this isn't a common size
All of the keys that need replacing are the same size
The US keys i need are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = [ ] \ ; ' , . /

ISO layouts generally have a |\ that's 1x size.
You might look at boards like the G80-8133 and -8200, which are available in that weird "almost ISO but with a big left shift" and are available cheap used with either lasered or doubleshot caps.
Or worse case, order some from WASD.

Which row and color do you need? I have some that might work for you if you are after Cherry keys.

@Hak Foo
Thanks so much!
@lysol
top row numbers and punctuation on the right side keys are what I need
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = [ ] \ ; ' , . /
i'd also take the a-z keys to prevent difference in color matching
Cherry keys are exactly what i'm looking for, doubleshot preferred, in white/beige to match an older keyboard in +++++ condition
thanks

Ok, I will have a look and see if I have any or all of those spare. Are the PO keys also Cherry, if so a direct trade could be an option.
Looks like I can accommodate that list, but not all key is perfect, they are a used condition but not poor. The \| key is row C, would go next to the '" key, I guess that was what you were looking for, US ISO style yes?
You're trying to end up with something like this right?

The placement of that \| key , bottom aligned to the enter key, yes.
the actual target keyboard is a G80-5000,
yes the keys are from a HAMPO,
thus doubleshot, Portugese and in excellent condition
the keyboard is sculpted
