Tim, you missed an important point here: the System file may contain
several KCHR resources (Mine has 3, the US and French official versions,
and a custom version that makes the French keyboard much more compatible
with US apps). You can even change KCHR anytime using the Keyboard cdev.
The ID of the resource used at boot is stored in the itlb resource, but
you can easily get the current KCHR ID with a call to the Script Mgr.
