It is a replica of Cherry doubleshot or dye-sub.

If you are lucky, you could find a original Cherry G80-3000 or G81-3000 keyboard with doubleshot keys on eBay. It would give you all keycaps except the Caps Lock, which is centre-stemmed on only one or two rarer  keyboard models in the G80 and G81 series.
(I would be surprised if the GH60 keyboard did not support offset-stemmed Caps Locks though, if that is what you want to put the keys on)

You can get this from Originative (www.originativeco.com).  It is called "classic beige key set". It is available in blue or black font for $99.00.

With 1.25 mods, I highly doubt it since you'll need a moogle kit which is stupid expensive for what it is.

^^^ looks most like lasered caps...idk why i didnt think of that hahah
i do know from a friend that cherry makes 1.25 mods, but with the lasered method, so it would make sense if it were original cherry
that picture you posted looks very much like lasered

Double-shot is obvious (look underneath).

Otherwise: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46728.0
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

First letter after G8x tells what key caps they are. L= laser, H=double shot, S=dyesub.

You wont find a magical board that has all key caps be double shot and be compatible so either lurk in the classifieds hoping for a used originative or imsto set to pop up or just buy from them directly. There's a reason orginative is more expensive, it has cherry thickness and comes with all compatible mods. Otherwise get some cheap ass ducky keycap sets and call it a day.

Finding this set for cheaper than the set available at originativeco.com will be near impossible, unless you're willing to accept a shiny set.

The keyboard pictured has an SP moogle kit and capslock.

Your best option is either to stalk ebay for an MY with doubleshots and add a moogle kit, or to just order it from originitive (which has the benefit of having proper profile on the bottom row)

I agree. The Originative sets are beautiful and quite reasonable in price, considering the quality. I do not think you find a better set in terms of appearance. The only thing IMO that would make the set better is if it were dye-sub thick PBT instead of double-shot ABS; this would improve the feel of the keycaps but not necessarily the appearance. I have seen a similar set from geek_feng on eBay for about 95 USD that is dye-sub thick PBT, but because of a production error, the non-stepped caps lock is white instead of gray. To make it right would require finding a light gray non-stepped caps lock, but it is doubtful that you could match the color exactly.

Your comparing GMK double shot ABS with Imsto thick PBT....totally different....both have their fans but it's like comparing apples to oranges....

Yes, I tried to make the distinction between double-shot ABS and dye-sub PBT. You are definitely correct that these are two very different things.

The WYSE moogle was a bit expensive. You can usually get moogle for around$25-35 or so. They haven't been made in awhile, so... And what with the GMK going on, and the fact that it seems a lot of people these days are opposed to spending money on certain things, well...
