It is likely to be a variant of this: [wiki]Commodore KPQ-E99YC[/wiki] — a Mitsumi hybrid switch keyboard doing a better disguise as a Model M than Key Tronic's efforts …

No, it's a heavily yellowed Commodore keyboard sold with PC-10 to PC-40.
It's a mitsumi keyboard. Quote from mr_a500 on the subject of this keyboard :
It really does feel like a lousy rubber dome keyboard. I suggest anybody considering buying this keyboard not to get it.

When it's not yellowed it does look really nice, but personally I think those switches stink.

The color scheme of the keycaps doesn't look bad though.

If you want caps like that with the inverse two-tone, I know there is some Cherry keyboard for Commodores with similar caps. Someone is even trying to sell one in the "How much is my __ worth?" thread, if I remember correctly!
