Yes but if i go into the user guide for that year the computer looks completley different from mine, mine looks exactly like late 2007 model.
If you've gotten the info you've posted from your computer, there is no reason to believe it is wrong. I suspect both models will be visually identical, so I'm not sure what differences you are seeing.
OVERVIEW
Introduced November 2007
Discontinued February 2008
Model Identifier MacBook3,1
I looked it up and the 2006 keyboard's Function Keys are different than 2007. I have the 2007 Function Keys but a 1,1 ID
The keyboards tend to match the OS that was initially shipped at the time the computer was released
Yours is most likely from Mac OS X 10.4x Tiger era and that keyboard layout changed on computers shipped after Mac OS X 10.5x was released
It appears yours is the first generation
Yes but my actual computer looks to be from 2007 but says 1,1 (2006)
Does your keyboard look like this?
I went on iFixit's website and they list the exact same upper case (portion with the keyboard) for the first gen MacBook (what you have) as well as the the other non-unibody MacBooks (models 2,1 - 5,2).
The keyboard layout would be the same, then.
The differences in layout are probably due to your MacBook originally shipping with Tiger - the remainder of the physical design for the MacBook did not change until the unibody MacBooks were released.
