Perhaps not as reproduction TR3 parts; but as noted, TR3s are not the only
devices to use such coach keys. ISTR my Dad's 1930 Packard had one, too.
Of course, it's also entirely possible that different cars were delivered
with different style keys. The folks at Standard/Leyland were more
interested in delivering an inexpensive sports car than keeping every detail
'just so'.
But the copy of Practical Hints that I checked shows a straight handle,
rather than sculpted.
