I have a (genuine) KB5151, which I loathe, detest, despise, and otherwise
don't like much.  It has no such switches, so it's clearly not the same
as yours.  On my home machine (AT clone), I have an 84-key Maxiswitch
keyboard (as an aside, I *much* prefer having the function keys at the
right, not above, the typing keypad), and it has two switches.  One is
the XT/AT switch.  The other interchanges the tilde and escape keys
(upper left corners typing/numeric keypads.  It's a simple metter to
pop off the key buttons to interchange them as well; our maintenance
people have a very clever (as in simple) wire tool for lifting key
buttons straight up, but you can simulate that with a couple pieces
of wire.

Maybe your other switch does something like that?
