Default 1940 Ford trunk lid lock cylinder fitment issue

The existing lock cylinder in my '40 Sedan is "iffy" and will eventually unlock if I jiggle the key around for a while - very unreliable and time to replace it.

I had been looking for and found this NOS Ford trunk lock cylinder at a swap meet and the label was marked 01A-7043505-A. Presumably it is for a 1940 trunk lock according to the info I have. Can anyone confirm from the photos below that this is the correct part for a 1940 Ford sedan trunk lid? It has 2 lock pins but the one currently in place now only has 1; at the key end of the cylinder. The lock pin furthest away from the key is keeping it from allowing the key to withdraw and securing it in place. The socket that holds the cylinder only has one hole for a lock pin; the one nearest the key. From what I can tell it would work if I were to grind off the extra lock pin. Don't want to ruin a nice NOS part but would welcome any advice.
