Snap On box lock cylinder

Have a couple questions on lock cylinders for Snap On tool boxes. I recently picked up 2 snap on side cabinets for my krl722. One is a older side cab, a 711, and the other is a few years newer and is the current model, the 711a. The older one has the regular key lock and the newer has the tubular key like the current models. I want to key them both to match my main box. Is the tubular key cylinder a direct swap? Can I order new locks based on my current lock number on my main box? Or will I have to order 3 sets and can you order them the same number?
Thanks

I had to order from my dealer 2 round lock assemblies and two matching cylinders to the code I selected for the rest of my boxes. You can not order whole assemblies with the lock number you want.
I have the two assemblies and proper cylinders but have not completed the change due to the boxes are not moving. But was told you might need to machine and futz with getting new style lock in old tool box, less of an issue with a cabinet.
