Cherry MX black and Tai Hao APC blue (an alps clone still in production pretty much unchanged since the late 80s as far as I can tell)

Close! MX and Tai Hao APC, not Logitech. Logitech doesn’t actually make their own switches, Omron does it for them. You can see an Omron B3GS in row 2, column 2, and an Omron Logitech switch (can’t remember the series name off hand) in last row, 3rd column.

Yeah I couldn’t find pictures and they do look like the Logitech switches. But according to op it’s apparently alps.

Not made by alps. Tai Hao apc switches are to alps what Gateron switches are to cherry MX
