The difference in Pure Keto and the Palumbo is, as you pointed out the amount of protein one eats. Basically, your body needs energy from somewhere. I have never compared studies or anecdotal evidence on High Fat compared to High Protein in terms of muscle loss. It seems Palumbo basically took Keto and said "This will make you lose muscle unless you eat enough protein" to which many seem to agree.
You will need to play with this. I would start on pure Keto and when you feel yourself losing energy you add carb-up days but not for the first 14 days as for some it can literally take this long to become Keto adapted. You could also just buy some ketostix and use those.
Ask me at the end of this year and I can tell you more exactly how Keto diet and Bulking with Test-E works, at least for my body :-)
If you want to play this safe you could always just do 40/40/20 which people have done for decades and know works and since you are in a cycle already might be the smarter choice and do this Keto thing next time when you have had a chance to look into it more.
