Magic Keyboard- strange layout?

I purchased a Magic Keyboard with numeric keypad a while ago, and had to get a replacement as one of the keys was sticking. All good- Apple sent me a replacement super fast, which was appreciated, but the model they sent back has a strange layout, and I'm just curious if it's just a new layout- or old? I miss the large 'shift' key from before.. not a huge deal, just curious! Thanks in advance.

Mac mini, macOS 12.6

This is called the ISO type keyboard, which is normally sold and used in Europe. The one you had before (with the larger left shift and no extra key next to Z) is called the ANSI type, and is normally sold in the US.


The layout is Canadian French CSA. As far as I know, such keyboards are always the ISO type.
