Welcome to DT Nayrcj! Good to see another Aussie here.

All I can tell you about your nice barn find now is what you can obviously see for yourself: it is from pre-Germany USA Cherry fabrication making it at least 30-35 years old. It would be great if you could pull a keycap for us and take a picture of the switch.

You can have a look at some old Cherry catalogues here:

The part numbers I have for that design are: M61-0120 (1979) and M73-0120 (1982). The part numbers kept getting changed!

It's a bog standard [wiki]Cherry gold crosspoint[/wiki] switch.
