Heavy Switches Used on X68000 Keyboard

When I got my DSETK0023CE03 keyboard with my X68000 I noticed that the BREAK and COPY keys were much heavier than the other switches (which is also true of some other Alps boards). While looking up information on the PCB I found this site which shows the entire keyboard disassembled which reveals some sort of white switch for those two keys. Does anyone have any idea of the exact model number of these switches or where else they were used? I can't find any information on these heavy linear versions.

They're what get called "SKCL Heavy Cream" which are almost certainly not a catalog switch and have no part number we're aware of.

So they are documented. Maybe I should add a line to the main X68000 wiki page.
