Opine away!
although time consuming, and requiring som moderate machining skill, that looks like it
shouldn't be an extreme problem to make a blank.
I assume that Tony has, or has access to, a precision milling machine.
It also looks as though it could even be bent out of flat stock with a miniature bending
brake.
The rear picture shows that it is not a fully paracentric keyway. (where
"ridges" and "valleys" of the milling of the keyway would cross the
center line, making it impossible to insert a very thin flat piece of metal)
I went looking for pictures of Lips locks, and found this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki8ErnwFwe4 which clearly isn't the same model lock
but does seem to have the identical keyway. So that would be a logical starting point.
