You’d think someone would make exact duplicates, but I haven’t found any of those.

Not sure how exact you're looking for but I believe this company Unicomp[1] bought the rights and manufacturing equipment for the model M keyboards after IBM and Lexmark stopped making them. I don't have one but allegedly they're still made in USA to the same standards as the old IBM ones.

Years ago, I bought several on eBay - so I'm good until I depart. I told my daughter that I'll include them in my will.
