Comment (by dwmw2):

 Quanta have provided a table of part numbers so that we can tell the
 keyboard from the part number... but I just realised the '3rd level' part
 number is the _same_ for each keyboard type. The part number that's
 different between configurations is the one that's _also_ different
 depending on whether it's a single machine or a 5-in-1 shipment. Which
 leads me to infer that it isn't the part number that's in the flash on the
 machines -- it's only on the packaging.

 Quanta will confirm, and will provide a mapping from serial number to
 keyboard type if I'm right.
