1984 R100RS Key question

A friend of mine has acquired a 1984 R100RS. He needs to know if there are individual keys for ignition, fuel tank and luggage. My knowledge of the marque is limited to K and oilhead models and I'm afraid I'm not able to give him an answer. Anyone out here know the answer?

The ignition and fuel tank would have originally had the same key. Thirty eight years later it may be different. I think the luggage would probably have been keyed differently. I think the luggage took a small, flat key.
 
One key

There is one key for ignition, gas cap, fork lock, and seat lock. The luggage available then had two keys one for the latches and one for the mounting latch on the Krauser syle bags. There were two possible choices for luggage from BMW, the Krauser style bags and a different more rounded style of bags. For the latter, I don't know if those used two keys as did the Krauser bags or just one key. St.

Ditto -- that's what my '84 had.
