New version of Cherry g80-180 found!

Hello!
Imgur album: https://imgur.com/a/0Q8p6BI

Bought a lot of 10x Lauer Fischer 1800's and found an odd one. They all had this odd card reader (img 1), with the standard laser ablated PBT keycaps other than the one board that came with doubleshot ABS keycaps (img 2).
Each of the keyboards were branded with GMK (img 3) (had a gmk daughter board inside that housed the weird card reader).

Never seen one of these Lauer Fischer boards with doubleshot caps, nor have I seen it documented on the wiki here.

Any info would be appreciated, I have also attatched PCB info and the model sticker on the switch side of pcb.

Edit: just realised it looks a hell of a lot like the HPMDE board linked at the bottom of the wiki page, yet it has this card reader built in. Maybe specifically for a company?

Thanks!

Crumbs, not on pc now. They should all be in the imgur album with the tags. Sorry about this

I have had one of those in the usual grey tone for ages.

Yes. The (brick and mortar) shop where I bought mine had tons of them,
but well, it was several decades ago.
