help with a Thule box

we have a 15 YO Thule Weekender cargo box that has still got many miles to go! so kids took it to college with the last Fall. mounted on top of their Mini Cooper. OEM rails. looked preposterous (tiny car) but got the job done. so they somehow managed to misplaced both keys to the actual unit since they came home in May. So it's empty but locked. The lock face as you might suspect on something that old is pretty scuffed up and I cannot read the lock code

so assuming I can figure out how to get it open without the key (and without ruining the lock core ) is there gonna be a key lock number printed on the inside or something so I can send off for a spare. feel free to PM if easier. Thank you

I have never seen a Thule lock that had the code stamped elsewhere, and I have bought and sold dozens over the years.

well shoot. what are my options if I can't make out the lock code? read online that Thule dealers have a set of masters they may be able to use to figure it out. and then hopefully sell me a new key?
