I am not sure of your question, but I have owned several (4-5?) AEKs ("Saratoga") and all have had "salmon" (aka pink aka orange) Alps which are very nice switches. I think the smaller boards from the same era had the same switches.
I really like these boards, although since I have pulled most of mine from junk piles, they always seem to have dead switches, especially Enter. And the cases and spacebars yellow atrociously.
Currently I have 2, and I plan to build one really nice one from them, if I can, since 1 case is very nice.
Just one more project on my "to do" list ......
