Default Simple key question

I just recently purchased a '64 coupe to go along with my '69 I've had a few years, so I have some learning to do about mid-years. Anyway, my question is whether the '64's all had the round-head keys for the door locks and hex-head keys for the ignition, or did it vary? My car came with hex-head ignition, and round-head door locks. I recently ordered a new set of door locks but they sent me hex-head keys with them. I know this may seem trivial, but it sure makes things easier if the ignition and door key heads are different. Thanks for any replies.

The hex was for ignition and locks
