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

Vertical tab key on the left makes me think they tore the keyboard out of an IBM Selectric ( or similar 1960s electric typewriter as I have not seen one with beige keys). Image is too blurry to tell if the left shift looks right though.
If they didn't just put it in an enclosure they made then it's probably a terminal of some sort like a DECwriter, but not that cause it looks like it only came in black.
In the context of the series, a terminal would make a lot of sense.
