Hmm, maybe it is better to let the sleeping dogs lie and put with the
confusing keyboard representation...  It seems easy to change the
quail-keyboard-layout-standard to a US Qwerty keyboard layout but since
I don't have any of the other keyboards defined in the alist to test, I
don't think I should touch it.

BTW, if you want a print of these keyboard, you can ask xkb:

    % setxkbmap gb -option -geometry 'pc(pc105)' -print |xkbcomp - - |xkbprint 
-label symbols - pc105-uk.ps
    % setxkbmap de -option -geometry 'pc(pc102)' -print |xkbcomp - - |xkbprint 
-label symbols - pc102-de.ps

I can send these postscript files if you're interested.
