In some Spanish classified site I've found a blurry photograph of this Olivetti board. I suspect is a RD, but just in case, I'd like to now your opinion (I now Olivetti's vintage RD are probably some of the best RD out there anyway

)
If it's something worthy, I'll try to make a reasonable offer (it's part of a very crappy hardware pack that does not interest to anyone)

It somehow does not like a mechanical keyboard. Sixty once gave me the tip to look into the gap between the key caps. If it is plastic instead of a metal plate or green, black or orange PCB, it is quite surely a rubberdome.

It's a very good tip indeed
Thanks for the other photos, it seems a RD for sure

I oftentimes just look at the distance between function row and top edge. The larger the likelier mech
