IBM Model M idustrial? or just bad color balance?

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Pretty sure it's just bad white balance. I have a 42H1292, and this looks just like it, if the photo were taken with a potato, in bad lighting.

The label is likely correct, and to confirm, it almost certainly appears to have the non-detachable PS/2 cable.

If the white balance were off, then the foam must be severely discolored.
I have seen less of this type of foam get discolored than I have keyboard cases.
Yet the cable also appears to have this same tint.  Take a look at the tape, it has the same yellowed tint that I have seen in other NIb vintage boards, if the color balance is off in the photo then that color would have also shifted. 

I vote that the colors in the image are more or less true to life.

I don't know, but that's a very good price if it is industrial!

"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

Pretty sure that this is a regular model m. You can tell by looking at the second picture.
