These are screenshots from two episodes of Knight Rider, the earliest of which has a filming date of August 1982, so we know that this can't be any newer than that. Chances are, they are from the 70s though.
There are pics on the internet of this same keyboard being mis-matched with an IBM 3277 terminal, (also in Knight Rider) and that terminal has been well identified already. It's the mystery keyboard, and the more "trapezoidal" mystery terminal that we are most interested in identifying...just to avoid that confusion/tangent.
I'm researching this as part of our "Computers of Knight Rider" video series being produced by The Knight Rider Historians (yep, that's us...)
This is pretty much the ONLY real terminal/computer (not a fake prop, but a real-life machine) in the entire series that we are unable to identify as of yet...
It could end up being the biggest unsolved mystery of the entire show!
Thanks, everyone!
