Don't know anything about that one,  but it looks like it's probably an Alps switch keyboard?

It's an IBM-made board but i can't remember if it is buckling spring or not.

You're all so close. This is "the" Alps buckling spring. The keyboard was manufactured by IBM, and the switch is a little light compared to the traditional BS boards. Its also been mentioned to have a very noticeable click, much like a cherry blue switch.

I recall finding a better write up on it somewhere but can't find it at the moment.

Wow, interesting. I'd love to get my fingers on one of those just to see what it feels like.
