Do all AEG Olympia keyboards use Cherry MY switches?

I have found an old AEG Olympia keyboard for cheap on a local eBay-like site. It's obviously made by Cherry but I wonder if it actually has MX compatible keycaps. Do all AEG Olympia keyboards use Cherry MY switches? Is it possible that I will receive just a bunch of domes? (The seller refuses to take off a keycap.)

No pic? IIRC there have been AEG branded keyboards which were not made by cherry.

I have had Cherry-made keyboards before and it obviously looks like a Cherry creation.
