Yes... If I plug the 6570-036 into my keyboard-with-socketed-controller, 
I get a blink from CAPS-Lock at power on and the keyboard works. If I do 
that with the 6571-036, I get a constantly on CAPS-Lock and nothing 
works. Tried that more than once.

BTW: Even stranger. If you remove the paper sticker from the 6571-036, 
you get a completly different part number.
