AFAIK, the key caps that Unicomp sells are the monolithic cap & plunger 
that their keyboards use, not the two-part keys that the real Model M
keyboards use.  (For those not aware, the Model M key cap is separate from 
the plunger - the key cap is _literally_ just a cap on top of a smaller 
key form that's got the plunger molded in.)
