Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 3:46 amWell, I just found a bit of interesting info. I was skimming through High Security Mechanical Locks: An Encyclopedic Reference by Graham Pulford and I came across the YBU lock from Japan on page 137. It has a SB key like that except with a metal head instead of a plastic one. The logo and dots on key head are the exact same.
Hopefully that gives you a good lead.
