Is this a vintage keyboard repurposed for the TV show? (From Silo, season 1) (lemmy.world)

After seeing the various Commodore keyboards in Alien: Romulus I'm wondering if these ones from Silo existed in the past too.

It looks very Commodore but aside from the odd caps on the corners, which may just be custom placed there, the biggest oddity would be the straightly aligned keys on the edges. On the older Commodore boards that share the general design of this one, the two bottom rows are usually slightly more aligned towards the left, compared to the top rows. Atari had some similar keyboard layouts like this but they generally looked different. Maybe some modern retro inspired replica.
