Jim,

I believe you are referring to lock pins/wafers. I've always referred to the round ones as pins and the flat ones as wafers. Steve Sandlin (http://www.steveslockshop.com) corrected me. Apparently the terms are interchangeable. He is also told me that there are six (6) different wafers which VW used on Vanagons.

I hope that helps.
