A colleage at work showed me some of his other old keyboards.
Unfortunately they're not for sale
First is a NCR brand, with a self-"stickered" case. Should have Vintage Blacks.
Second is a Cherry, should also have Vintage Blacks.
Third brand is something like "multi key", my colleage said. Has a solid metal case.

The NCR should really be without that sticker! Such a nice industrial grey!
The 2nd is MY, only the key caps are worth something.
What abiut the 3rd one, what kind of switches does it have?

The 3rd ones' caps look like SIEMENS
Clicky
so perhaps RAFI?

Yep, I like big ass space bars too

Too bad modern boards don't have them, and the trend is to lose the space bar, tinnie split space bars is the future
I just bought an old Wyse key set with a huge space bar like that one

That with a short right SHIFT and Fn next to it and is perfect. Big space bar rules

HHKB style Fn would make it bearable at least! Then split the backspace key, swap with backslash, and maybe cut 3 units off the you know what and…
