Has anyone ever seen the back-face of these caps ?
It's 1980's vintage, so there is a slight chance the caps could be 'nice' ..

Looks a lot like the typewriter keycaps I've seen before in other threads, and since the keycaps to me don't look uniformly profiled and they do look a bit Cherryish... I guess this could even be Cherry compatible, and maybe linear vintage MX whites! Maybe this is just me getting hopeful though?
Just woke up and can't think straight, so please don't take my word for anything.

Panasonic, if mech it's probably Alps, Omron Alps alikes or some other thing. Most Japanese brands didn't use Cherry. I have seen some Panasonic electronic typewriter and old laptop keyboards with Alps or Alps alikes on ebay that looked very similar.
