It's a normal high security lock, typically used for magazines or temporary storage of ammunition items. The shank frequently comes completely out and is inserted up into a hasp which is shrouded, the main body of the lock then pushed up onto it. The shroud makes it more difficult to cut. It was replaced by one that is simpler and had a straight bar that moves across between two shrouded points.
