Terry64HT is on a distinguished road
I went on to good old eBay and searched "Thunderbird console latch". There are several listed, some with photos that show the lock end. One (listed as a 1964), is obviously for the double-sided key and another shows the single straight slot, so is probably a 64. The years in the listings appear to be incorrect on a couple of them.
However, the casting for the housings look identical as do the diameter of the cylinders. It's unlikely that anyone has one of each type to compare, and I suspect that it's the cylinder that failed in Headacheguy's latch.
It would be interesting to know, though.
