Just had a look and found 2 on ebay.de
Comes with our Plus/4 1531 box.

As you say both have brown buttons just like the C64 ones so are the real thing.
Maybe Commodore Germany had these made as replacement units and put the 1531 adapter in the box so all machines could use it. C64 would of been more common as to why it's in the style of... In the UK we sometimes see 64's with our grey colour 1531's and maybe that was Commodore UK's way of doing replacements.
The odd one might of even been rewired if they needed a replacement and could not get an adapter back in the days before ebay came along... I'm sure some one out there did. I would of.
