Think there are only two types depending whether you have an airbag.
They might interchange but I know the column is different, barrel may be.

Hopefully it shouldn't matter but they definitely fit different because the plastic cowl is different, comes out at more of an angle on the non-airbag I think.
That's not to say the barrels are different, might work. See what you can get hold of.
Main problem is scrappies don't generally supply keys. I've got one here with a key but its still on the car, would need to go up there today and take it off if you're having it.

You could have just snapped the steering lock, and stuck a screwdriver into the ignition switch as there's no immobiliser on a 20xe.
