These sound like the real original keys. Keys like lock mechanisms can wear
over the years and you end with skeleton keys (they fit anything and
everything British/BMC). If you replace all the lock barrels and get new
keys the problem goes away. The ignition lock barrel is the easiest to
change, the boot the most difficult.
Wilmot Breeden as a company still exists though it has I think passed through
a couple of owners. Some years ago they supplied a matched set of:
ignition, door and boot locks for me - apparently they were supposed to come
that way but over the years I had a separate key for each lock.
