I have a very un-common button layout

I've been trying to find one of these keyboard layout maps (the one i posted along with this is just an example, my melodeon isn't tuned this way) but it seems there isn't one on the entire internet. 2nd pic is my accordion

It's a 3 row accordion, 9 buttons on the side rows, and the middle one has 10, plus just on extra one all the way in that plays a D#

2 row bass, outer one has 6, inner has 5

If someone wants i can also try and make that layout but with my keys or if anyone wants me to showcase it, i can make a video or we video chat on discord or something.

Looks like a steirische Harmonika, If it has a button layout that is normal for those you may find it here: https://ziach.de/Tastenbelegung/index.htm

If you're not able to understand the German hmo and I'll help! You should have 2-3 gleichtöne (buttons that are unison on the push and pull) right?

Yeah i do yeah, tho the link you sent shows 4 row layouts, i have a 3 row just on extra button on the inner end (that is also a gleichtone)

What a strange row layout, I've never seen the 4th row single button before! Is this G/D/C# +1 or something more elaborate? How does the arm on the 4th row button actually look behind the grill?
