There are only few mechanical keyboards by IBM:

Huge and heavy ancient stuff which can't be confused with anything PC.
Model F XT and AT.
122 key Model F and M.
101 key Model M and variants (different colors, trackpoints, non-IBM branding, ...).
Space saving Model M (looks like normal M, but tenkeyless).
Model M2 - the most "modern" looking of all, for some values of "modern".
Model M15 - split M2.

Note: Ms and M2s exist in rubber dome versions as well, these can only be distinguished by product numbers or physical inspection.

I think that may be a KB8923 or variant.

Nice for rubber domes but that one looks kind of tired.
"It's 110, but it doesn't feel it to me, right. If anybody goes down. Everybody was so worried yesterday about you and they never mentioned me. I'm up here sweating like a dog. They don’t think about me. This is hard work.
Do you feel the breeze? I don't want anybody going on me. We need every voter. I don't care about you. I just want your vote. I don't care."

Yes, rubber dome. It's a KB8923, yes - different PN for different layout. ISO Portuguese.
