Not the best picture and the 2 back ones are not complete, but I was surprised that the unsaver is the same width as a regular Model M. Twice as heavy though!

One of my dealer buddies said he would go look on the shelves, if he had a pic of what to look for.

Yeah, that's why they call it the Unsaver — it's a space-saving design of a ginormous keyboard, so it's not small at all xD .

Even the SSK isn't that small a board...

It (unsaver) looks slightly wider than the XT. Having the alphas closer to the center like the XT makes a big difference in ergonomics though. I'd much rather deal with the Unsaver than the fullsize M just for that.

I am one who had to switch to TKL's for most of my computer usage since my mouse arm was having shoulder pain and those few inches or cm make a big difference in comfort for me.

What XT? The first is an SSK, the 2nd the unsaver, the 3rd a standard sized Model M, and the last is an F122.

Not in your pic, but I compared it with my XT and M.

[nitpick]if you take XT's "ears" into account, they are pretty much the same though[/nitpick]

This is actually quite true, since you cannot really retract them save complete removal.
