That's Nusach Ashkenaz and Ari.  Nusach "Sfard" and Sefarad/Edot Hamizrach
is "ken t'chayenu ut'choneinu".

I've never heard of that nusach, and Google doesn't come up with an
example, but that doesn't prove it's a misprint.  But that would be
my guess: that someone started with the Nusach Ashkenaz version and
was told to substitute "t'choneinu" and misunderstood which word
was to be replaced.  However, before determining that that's the most
likely explanation, the first thing I'd look at if I had it available
would be a Georgian and/or Bukharan siddur, to see whether that is
the genuine nusach of the Shlomof family.
