The pica typeface is interesting because it strongly resembles Olympia's pica, which I previously thought was unique in the world of typewriters (along with Optima). The numbers are almost the same, and the basic letterforms are the same except for some small details and proportions.

The shift keys were replaced (originally they would have said "Um") with Imperial keys that sort of match, and the symbol over the 9 key was replaced, very haphazardly, with the £ symbol.

I really don't have any figures on the correlation between age/wealth and smoking habits, just exercising my common wisdom—the sort of thing so very likely to be wrong. It does seem like, though, people who smoke cigarettes are more likely to spend less on a nicer European machine.
