Oh , that’s an XT

Oh, does the code suggest XT?

I may have mixed up the manuals and covers

 

Pretty sure it was an old Brumby or EA81 auto sedan

No , not necessarily. My fault for putting your XT manual and the key code together. 
 

Check with an older dealership and hopefully an older parts guy.

 

FWIW all my older 1970’s let’s typically lead off with an “F”.

I’m going to say it’s 80’s. Going through my “stupid amount” of old keys I see mostly F and E with E seemingly being for glove box or trunk in most cases.

Then I have known Loyale keys and they are four numbers followed by a letter , mostly X and Y

Yeah , from this lot in front of me I’m going with 80-84 or gen 2 Brat or late run Hatch.

no, the manuals next to it did. 

It’s been a few years but EA82 key codes on the door lock cylinders were 5 digit numeric codes with no letters and the locksmith only needed 4 of them.  

A good locksmith would probably know if you needed to find out. Ask if it could be a potential key code for an 80s Subaru.

Oh, that manual also says L Series, so a bit odd it also included XT

I actually scored a LHS barrel and key from the US

My XT came sans key worky LHS, so the driver's door and ignition one key, LHS on its own in RHD world no biggy
