Isn't a true tonneau cover one that fits over all the cockpit for when you park up but don't want to put the roof back up? On the old sports cars opening and closing the roof was probably a fiddly and time consuming operation so these tonneaus were probably a quick and easier way of weatherproofing...

My key is a small, normal looking cut key, so that is maybe why I was told that they are all different? And it is for turning off the siren.
