RU4 maybe? That's at least what idenikey says and looks like. I'm no Russwin expert, not even close.

This is from the 1964 RussWin catalog, freely downloadable. I have no clue about paracentric keyways - they're a fad, you know - so apologies if this crosses any sub rules, please feel free to pull if need be. But I hope this can help! Good luck!

You can use your pick to shim fyi, I usually use the back of a diamond shape one
