Strange.. VG8230 has "MSX2" logo, while the VG-8240 has only "MSX"

It’s probably not from a computer, note how ESC and BS buttons are written in Japanese. No Personal Computer in Japan had that, but word processors did this all the time.

Well there is a distinction between “computers” and “personal computers”. The word processors were obviously also computers, but very focused in purpose. I suspect the keyboard where those keys came from were also from “computers” with a very focused audience .
