FP or SR keys

Looking to clarify if the early Alpines used either FP or SR keys for the doors ignition. Parts book lists these, but have never seen them. FP also listed for trunk/glove box, supplanted by the FS. Anyone have or seen an FP or SR key/lock? Thanks, David

David,

What "parts book' are you referring to? The Rootes original factory parts manual, publication 6600992, lists key types, RM, ST, RL and FP as possible keyways for the doors and ignition. But it makes no reference to ST.

Yea, I was using the 6600992. Page YV5 has the listings for the locks and keys for Series I and Series II. They list all 4 of the keys and locks, FP, SR, ST and RM. This is for ignition and doors. What I am curious about is whether early cars used FP or SR. For HLM they list FP and ST, but mine has an RM ignition set. Could be a replacement. Now that I look there is an FP key for my glove box lock. The parts book shows only ST and RM for the Series III and Series IV. My head is spinning....
