I'm pretty sure its not actually.... was looking into it a while back as i've had a few different bootlids on mine.

From everything i read, the locks are not interchangeable.

If you can get a lock (shouldn't be much) just use the release inside the car and forget the key mines plated so no key hole at all!

You have to remove the rear bench seat, and then remove the bars behind the seat backs (its just a few bolts) and you can get through into the boot. I assume you can release the boot from the inside, although i've never tried....

Took this pic when i had the seats out of mine to change the fuel pump:
