Button identification?

[makerimages]

Hi all,

If you happen to be familiar with lighting consoles, you sure have seen these switches, which most of the controllers use. They look the same - a LED on the top, and a raised piece down below. Pushbuttons. Who makes them and where could I buy these buttons?

The Omron is real close.  We used to use these on a product and I "thought" they were Carling switches but I'm not seeing them making these now at least.  25 years ago so brain might have faded.

E-Switch might have been it.  From Digikey.

Also this one but maybe harder to get ?

The original were German from ITT-Schadow and called "digitast". It seems they've been taken over by C&K.
