It's true that the overall layout is like that of a 3278. I was thinking of the main typing area, which indeed is very much like that of the Model 29 keypunch.
Basically, the 3278, and its prececessor, the 3277, came in several different keyboard styles, there being a "data entry" keyboard which was designed like a keypunch instead of a typewriter. Naturally, the other keys which were required to control the terminal functions didn't change. I wasn't saying that the mystery keyboard was for a keypunch.
