Is this for nostalgia, where accurately representing the original is most important?
Otherwise, you can get keyboards with a little LCD display on each key, such that any
glyph can be added to each key.
Or the low-teck way, clear key caps that you remove and place under each one a
printed indication of the key function.
Neither one will confuse anyone who remembers the original, but should
allow for actual use to be close enough.
