My Olivetti M10 has one-piece sockets, leaf-style, open with center bar,
labelled 28, KEL, Japan. Sounds like what you describe.

Well I have a silver PC-8201 from Australia that has DIL 28 pin sockets
with flat pins not round, that have pin spacing to match the ram module.
Socket is marked KEL, but I can't find a catalog that references such a
spacing. must have been a custom.
I'm sure my beige 8201s have the single row machine pin sockets.
Anyhow no big deal, I am pretty sure that the with is .725" between the
rows, to match the "raw" standard RAM module.

I did once find these NEC ram modules on ebay though that do have a
one-piece frame for the pins at 0.7"
It's curious. The sram chip, the pcb, and even the pin frame are all
labeled NEC, but as far as I can tell from any other pictures I've ever
seen, PC-8201 did not ship with these. But they DO work in both my
8201a
and my Model 100's.
If NEC didn't make these for their computer which they DO work in, then
what the heck WERE they made for?
The seller was in Romania and had more than the 8 I got, but sold out a
few months later.
Just for giggles, I filled my 8201A with them, so I have an NEC
computer
filled with actual NEC ram.
