Blank, LED and Double Shot Number Devlin keycaps

Having recently decided to get involved with the whole mechanical keyboard thing. I decided to have a rummage around at my local Hackspace. I had already picked up a Dell with Alps switches a short while back, which is in the process of being turned into a tenkeyless.

EDIT: As pointed out below these are Devlin Key caps. Amended Topic to reflect that.

However I also found a few tins full of unused Cherry Black switches, and a mix of yellowed and new key caps.
Not what I would call your usual key caps. These appear to be a lot lower in profile, It looks like they are likely off a terminal of some sort. Most of the key caps are blank, I intend to have a go at laser etching those. Some of them are blank with a little LED window, then there is an array of double shot number keys.

It looks like someone perhaps had to order a replacement 5 key cap, as there is an extra 6 of these in new condition. It could be the other unused blank ones were ordered at the same time to fulfil an order.

Anyway, here are some pictures.
I am happy to trade some of the duplicate keys away so I can get stuck into my keycap collection.
I intend to keep an entire set of the numbers to use on a keyboard when I get one, however the other one is up for grabs if someone wants the complete set.

Gilgam, what did you want specifically? What would you be willing to trade?

(also, if I am going to offer a set of the numbers and some blanks/number 5's, should I go set up a new topic in market place?)
