If I recall correctly, there is no difference in the layouts of USB model
Type 6 & Type 7 keyboards, except for the Japanese layout, which was modified
to more closely match the pc105 layout. (Type 6 keyboards were made in versions
for both the traditional Sun/SPARC serial connector and USB, while only USB
versions of Type 7 are made, since they postdate the EOL of the machines that
used the older connectors.)

The main differences between Type 6 & 7 are physical (embedded USB hub to
plug in mice, flash drives, etc. ; RoHS-compliant materials ; updated
appearance).
