ICL started manufacturing computers that were PC AT Clones under the DRS brand. All models from M10-M50 seem to use this keyboard. Other models that ended in 5 rather than 0 were added to the DRS lineup later on. NMB keyboard version was later changed out for a Fujitsu version as ICL was partnering with Fujitsu and later bought out by Fujitsu.
