Would this Qemu capture from a Core Desktop terminal be enough? There you can see that the installed .deb for systemd is 249.11-0ubuntu3.12, that /etc/default/keyboard and /etc/default/locale are soft links to the same files at /etc/writable/default, that /etc/writable/default/keyboard file doesn't exist and /etc/writable/default/locale contains C.UTF-8.

The point is that the way of fixing them is to make links to /etc/writable. But the systemd tools modify them by creating a new, temporary file first in the place, and then overwriting the old one with the new.
