American brand locks often have the same 6chambered plug with 5 pin stacks in them, so chances are u are facing something similar to this.

All the best

For the most part, you will be able to interchange the pins from one American cylinder to another with no problem even if the model # is different.

All American locks will have security pins, whether it be Spools, Serrated, Half Serrated, Spooled Serrated or one shaped like an hour-glass (can't think of the technical term at this moment) or a combination of all and the possibility of them being key pins and driver pins.

Every once in a while you will find an American with standard key pins but has security driver pins, or no security pins at all. Those locks have been re-pinned like that for some reason or another. I have come across both scenarios.

Just found this, if you scroll down you will find a pic of an American key with the pins for refference.

This will give you an Idea of what to expect.
