You need to take a picture of your current keyboard layout and if possible the hinge design as there are a couple of versions that apple made. I can help you out with replacement caps but I am on the other side of the map sadly and shipping them over would cost more than buying a complete new replacement keyboard from any Chinese seller from eBay or whatever other sites allow to send to the UK.
UPDATE 28/08/26 (Norwegian Keyboard)
So, we can see there are quite a few keys that are in different places and there are also some different characters. The keyboard will be recognized in the system as Norwegian, and if set to any other language then surely some keys will not display their characters, so simply swapping them with a 'English or US' set will not solve this. You will need some software to map the keys, Karabiner or MacMapper to solve this. The affected keys will be (or should be) the key left side of the '1', number 4, left side from 'Z', and a few from the right side of 'P' & 'L'...... I am not 100% sure if the swap over of the key caps will be a success as I got a hunch 1 or 2 keys will lose function... I haven't never tried this before although a neighbor here from Denmark wants me to change this from USA to a Danish layout..... Removing the keycaps, I use my fingernail as I can more easily feel if there is to much tension. Good luck on this though, let us know if it was a success, otherwise it is a hell of a job to replace the whole keyboard which maybe your last resort, or wait until you need a new battery and in that time find a complete middle case to do a swap over, either way a monster of a job to keep you busy for 2-3 hours.

No need to worry about the different keys mountings as the fully keyboard is being replaced, only making sure it's the right one for the system.
@danj He's asking about a set of keycaps if I am not mistaken and not a full keyboard replacement repair.
@livfe - Hard to say... someone asking for so many keys often needs a full keyboard.
@danj Who knows why.... have to wait for a response....Maybe the cat clawed them off breaking many of them....
Thanks for the reply, It has a Norwegian key set. Just want to replace the strange Norwegian letter keys so I will get the US set and use some of those keys 👍😀

Where a-bouts are you in the UK? There is a shop just outside Liverpool which was a big supplier of parts which sadly went dark on us earlier in summer. There web site is still alive TheBookYard they clearly hit a bump as they where doing quite well. I wish someone would knock on their door to find out what gives! They would have the keyboard part you need. Otherwise it's hunting down from the other jobbers online in China.
