Yes, the last photo is the ACTUAL keyboard with ISO return, and hence occupies two barrels (the vertical stabilizer barrel for the bottom peg on the underside of the ISO return key is visible on my photo of the black flippers incidentally, with the position upsidedown relative to the keyboard and ...
