I just spoke to a friend of mine - who worked for Commodore Data A/S in 
Denmark in the 80'es.

He states that the Danish char rom for C64 was made by the danish 
country service manager (first name "Knud") at Commodore Data A/S.

It was sold by Commodore Data A/S as a official kit with stickers/labels 
for the keyboard.
