Individual keying is quite a different approach when you consider the QMC (USA) had one standard (H700) key for its whole fleet. That is all jeeps, trucks, spare wheel padlocks, the lot and later they even did away with the key in favour of a permanent lever, as far as ignition switches went.

David, I have no real knowledge of war time systems but I know that as a soldier individuals were responsible for their kit and were held accountable for any losses. There were stores that were "A" class stores that any loss constituted a court martial.
In a combat zone the rules changed dramatically and the stores delivered to those on the front were generally "written off" on arrival. I have heard stories from old soldiers from both sides of the counter in the RQMS's store. Some of the accounting rules will ever remain unwritten.
