I have never been able to come up with a definite answer for this question, but I don't think they were. "Most" of the ones I have had and/or worked on used the oval head key instead of the rectangular head key. If your ignition key will slide into the lock cylinder it can be re-keyed to work with it. See if there is a 4 number/letter combination stamped into the outside of the lock cylinder case. It will look something like the picture below....
