I compared the fourth and fifth pictures.
4th: the hole for the key on the back is in the centre of the key block (Cnat)
5th: the top hole on the front is at the top of the key block (C#)
For a D chanter it makes more sense to extend up - it doesn't get
squeaky like on an F or G. I guess the reeding won't be as critical.

Quoting christopher.bi...@ec.europa.eu:
This is a bit confusing as the key in the Fnat position is Eb on an
F chanter.
So, using nominal pitches the keys would be Fnat, a, c (little
finger) and b, d thumb?
Indeed an odd selection. I have a nominal top c on my F chanter, but
it hardly ever gets used and I frankly wish I hadn't bothered. I'm
glad the maker at least dissuaded me from getting a top Bb.
C
The key in the Fnat position is Cnat on a D chanter
The top thumb hole is D - the picture shows four keys with holes
positioned above this. Two on the little finger (e,g) and two on the
thumb (f#,a)
