I need help identifying a keyboard!

So, a few days ago I went with my gf to get her car from the service, and as I roam the shop I spotted this:
Spoiler:

Didn't have any time to ask, so I will go again to offer "a brand new rubber dome keyboard in exchange for this crap"
In the meantime I am curious!!
It is winkeyless, so a bit old, probably has Clears, and uses Costar stabs, so most likely Costar made, split Backspace, and I think I see a vertical stabilizer on the |\ key, probably big-ass Enter?
I was puzzled by the missing caps, and troubled by the possible effect of years of dust on the switches.
Any ideas?

Impressive dust — it makes all the LED slots disappear!

Still haven't got around to go to the garage, but thanks to davkol's FS thread I think it might be a Chicony KB-5191 with Aristotle Clears! Does anyone know if they where made in black? Do the plate-mount Chicony's use wire stabs?

The case definitely looks like a chicony. I can't recall what stabs are in my plate-mount futaba chicony, but their plateless boards costarish stabs for sure.
