More about this type of keyboard...
The IBM 4683/4684 Alphanumeric POS Keyboard is presently the only buckling springs based dedicated point-of-sales input device released by IBM. They were made for use with IBM's first PC-based POS system, specifically based on the IBM PC/AT. Thus, the keyboards themselves have an AT layout, which makes them a sort of "Model M/AT", if you will.
