how to idetify a keyboard for MBP 10,1 mid 2012?

I had a keyboard exchanged and it appeared to be an Australian mapped keyboard which made me change the input for the keyboard. But if I had known, I would have chosen a US ansi layout. Physically the boards are identical but the mapping seems different. There is no code or other identifier to be found.

Could any one please explain how to distinguise the right keyboard?

Moreover is is even more complicated because Apple does not produce parts for the old machines anymore.

Please post a picture of the keyboard. Also see

US and "Australian" keyboards are normally the same ANSI type, so it's is probably something else, perhaps British or International English if ISO instead.

If there are keys which produce something different than what is printed on them on the screen, provide a few specifics.
