I used the Yale locking switch on a late 13-14 coil box. Not sure if its period correct but I like the looks of it on my 14.

The cases are both magnetic. Alan's remark (Thank You) made be polish the AutoLock - definitely Nickle finish. Its also thicker steel and heavier than the Black ones. The Defender is chrome, color of finish and started to peal in one spot
