[GreenKeys] ID’ing a teleprinter manufacturer

I was originally thinking 15 or 19 but with non-original keycaps.  But the
keyboard layout looks like it is original to the unit inside, so I began to
second-guess. Bell key in the corner, individual punctuation keys, no
legend for the figs characters on the letters and numbers, etc.

There’s a reperf switch hole and labelling that feels very Teletype-like,
but it’s hard to say. A Frankenstein of a unit, possibly?

Thanks for your input so far!
