At the time the keyboards did indeed have both the looped circle and the Apple logo[0], but both were open apples. I had an Apple IIe at home but hadn't figured out keyboard shortcuts yet. 0: https://deskthority.net/wiki/File:Apple_Extended_II_Salmon_U...

Oh, I recognize those ALPS-style keyswitch tops anywhere. It was definitely the IIe I was thinking of as the ones with the open and closed apple.
