Is there a way to check which is the keyboard layout (ANSI or ISO) of a particular MacBook Pro 14/16" unit if it's in a sealed package, e.g. check it by the serial or part number?

Who are you buying from...surely there is some help there(?)

for one of your ex above

Keyboard and Trackpad

Backlit Magic Keyboard with:

• 78 (U.S.) or 79 (ISO) keys including 12 full-height function keys and 4 arrow keys in an inverted-T arrangement
• Touch ID
• Ambient light sensor
• Force Touch trackpad for precise cursor control and pressure-sensing capabilities; enables Force clicks, accelerators, pressure-sensitive drawing, and Multi-Touch gestures

The first model is available for sale from B + H Photo and Computer in New York, suggesting it has a US keyboard.

The second model is only shown on sites whose sale prices are delimited in Euros, suggesting the two-story tall return key of International English layout.

it would've been a lot easier if Apple did straight up put the keyboard identification (ANSI/ISO) somewhere on the label itself.

The last response to this question was to look at the product label on the box.
