Aftermarket locking wheel nut?

It seems that the previous owner of my Lr3 left the locking wheel nuts on and has misplaced the key. Only now I'm starting to realise this might not be a normal Lr3 locking wheel nut.
I'm struggling to identify it after researching online all afternoon for any keys that are similar.
Help!

It’s definitely not a genuine LR locking wheel nut.

Just search eBay, there are plenty of “needle” type sockets that will open that.

Looks like a McGard one to me. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/mcgard/16970923

Just find someone local that does removal, probably cost about £80 to get the lot removed.

I had the same problem when I bought my Freelander 2 a few years ago. My local stealership had a full set of keys and managed to unlock them.

I just put standard wheel nuts on rather that replacing them with locking ones, it's not the '70s anymore no one wants to nick Disco 3 wheels, when's the last time you saw a car up on bricks?

I’ve managed to get some like that off by hammering a socket on to it.
