Hm! But that 2nd one is different, and has the tabs at the bottom, different than the first! This one could possibly stand up at the top of the 800 keyboard.

The tabs are in the same position, in the first photo the keyboard overlay is upside down.

I've seen the keyboard graphics before, I think as @Nezgar said, as an insert for the owner's manual. I've never seen a 400 keyboard overlay version though. I didn't know Microsoft BASIC was suppose to come with it either. I bought a used copy from a dealer back in the day, and just got the software and manual.

What in the world is that graphics keyboard thing? Is it simply an overlay for the keyboard? Sure doesnt look like it...

The keyboard template is inserted VERTICALLY on two slots available between the horizontal-section and the swinging-lid of the 800's top cover, so you can always have a visual / graphical representation of the special character set, while editing Basic, etc.

 

That set is within my physical reach, but I actually have most of it (including the special carrying-case, which comes with more padding than shown here).
