scrollable horizontal tabs - functionality?

We are putting together our design system and one of the components is scrollable horizontal tabs. Does anyone know of an accessible example?

Testing with just a keyboard, I can advance through the tabs, even without the previous/next buttons, but it doesn't quite work the same way using NVDA. I'm not even sure what the expected functionality is with these things, so I don't want to ding the developer needlessly. Unfortunately everything inside our firewall, so what we have isn't reachable outside our network.

Thanks!
