They are supposed to be different you know, it'd defeat the object if they were all the same

The cover plate on my Senator wheels shared the same key as my brother-in-law's Nova wheels, but they are coded hence different keys ......... in the same way as there's going to be another door/ignition key as yours & mine somewhere about. There can only be some many combinations.
Also, by the time they've had a windy gun tightening the bolts to mega ftlbs that'll also affect the fit.

Wrong key/bolts Fiendish one  OP wants wheel bolt key, your link is for the cover over the bolts of some wheel styles. 

I Removed mine (same as yours) after a lost key, using the chisel and lump hammer method.
either 16 or 17mm multipoint socket, knocked on after shroud is removed.

dead easy, all 4 done in 30mins or less.

Alternatively, if not chisel is available, i found that just knocking the socket on anyway first will help remove or at least loosen the shroud, and then it can be more easily tapped off.
