Looking at a picture of the keyboard, it has keys in those positions. 
Does the keyboard produce anything else when they're pressed?

Looking in my Mate keyboard prefs, in the layout prefs, options button,
there's a miscellaneous compatiblity option that mentions emulating
those keys for Mac keyboards.  I dunno how and where it does it, does
it put them anywhere useful for you?

I purposely avoid keyboards with non-standard layouts for this kind of
reason.  Somebody doesn't know what some keys are for, decides they're
not useful, and makes the keyboard terrible for actual computer users. 

Let's remove the cursor arrow keys, something I use all the time, and
make you have to use some weird keyboard combination to type them,
instead.  You can just hop back and forth between keyboard and mouse to
put the cursor where you want it (also inconvenient, and not the only
purpose for using the cursor keys).  People who design these things
should be horsewhipped, then strapped down in front of a linotype
machine.
