After a little more research on the net tonight: it looks like the keyboard in 
the 4006 was pretty much one of Cherry's standard "B70 ASR" models.  The key 
mechs are known as M7 T-mount, and the caps look like the standard double shot 
ones supplied by Cherry in their mid to late 70's catalogs.

A lot of the Tek terminals I've seen for sale seem to be missing a few teeth; I 
guess these caps didn't hold on well enough to weather the decades without a 
few from most keyboards getting lost along the way.  It's probably worth 
working up some 3D models for these caps.

Also, keyboard research turns up some sad, sad, things... Brrrr... :-(
