Saw this at a small town US museum. Didn’t note anything about its age, origin, etc.; I was too distracted by my core question of why is it labeled like that?
I'm decent at recognizing Sans Serif fonts. Present me with a Serif font, and I'm screwed.

Maybe the pipes were made in the wrong note order to the corresponding keys and they were like oh no uh... label it?? Or they just really got it wrong... I have zero idea how organs work other than they have pipes instead of strings.
I did consider something like “it’s tuned weirdly” or “this is to make it easy to transpose to a particular other key” but that just leaves the massive question of “ok what happens when you press the B-sharp key?”
it's possible the flats were intentionally left off, so the a, b, and e keys are flat (if i counted them correctly)
