The photo shows an M0115 with a serial number of 358K which means that it is almost sure to have orange Alps.
"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

I can't really read the serial number. How can you tell it's an M0115?

AEK is M0115 and the Apple logo is at the bottom left.

AEK2 is M3501 and the logo is upper left. AEK2 also has that weird lift bar instead of legs.

If you blow up the photo you can just barely make out some of the numbers.

A few months ago, I saw 3 eBay listings with the same exact picture and messaged him about it. He said that he is pretty old (in his 70s) and going through chemo so is shortcutting his listings (uses 3 different eBay ids) by using the same picture. He actually had 3 listings separately for M0116s (all with the same picture), along with 3 listings for M0115s. He says that he has been selling vintage apple keyboards for many years. I think he's legit, but sloppy with his photo listings. Not sure though. I never ended up pulling the trigger on the keyboards, as they were in rough shape. As the prices are pretty low, I suggest messaging him about the specifics of the keyboard you are looking at - model number, year built etc, but be careful.
