Hi Rick,
The other comment which I did not make before, and perhaps should have, relates to the lion on the lock. The wear of the lion (see your first pic of this thread) seems way out of match to the wear elsewhere. The lion is on what I would class as a "protected area" of the lock, therefore unlikely to have so much wear. Also I note from your last pic showing the lock interior, that the upside down V appears again.
I think, though could be wrong, that this lock is NOT an original EIC one.
