Latch key
An interesting question to which I have no answer. I have made keys for my Lynx but that does not really help answering the main questions.
Why would you wish to open the hatch from the outside? I suggest that the only circumstance I can think of is when the vehicle has turned over and you wish to help the occupants out of it. So this raises the next question: how would you expect a casual passer-by to have a key? Were they a common item used on many other things/vehicles? If the vehicle is upright and the driver wishes to get in, in the case of the Lynx II, he would simply remove the canvass cover. In the case of the Lynx I, he would be carrying the keys to remove the padlock securing the roof hatch.
As anyone who has contemplated it, access via the escape hatch is very much a desperate option.
I am also intrigued as to where the driver would keep his key to the escape hatch.
