That's the upper gearbox not the main gearbox which is a euro cylinder, the ERA Vectis main gearbox doesn't use a euro cylinder, I looked at both pictures John not just one

The gearbox with the keyhole is a secondary gearbox further up from the main gearbox where the handles are, the main gearbox in the the OPs photo clearly shows the main gearbox to have a euro cylinder, an ERA Vectis multi point lock main gearbox doesn't use a euro cylinder

The OP already stated he's removed the upper gearbox you know the one with the keyhole but it still utilising the euro cylinder to lock the door
An ERA Vectis MPL doesn't have a second upper gearbox so it's not an ERA Vectis MPL
Internet
What I would ask is does that upper gearbox throw another deadlock or hook when locking
If you look closely at the picture with the handles on you will see under the latch is a black piece, this no doubt says ERA on it, but yale also make the same lock, like does Saracen, surelock too so you have lots of starting points

Hey all, following. Thanks.
So to answer a few points.. the cassette I took off operates a simple deadbolt that comes through the assembly, into a gap which is exposed when the handle is thrown up.
Beyond being the right size for the assembly and attached to it, it has no other interaction with it.
John, it does indeed lock and unlock "from the inside"(though not a key hole on the inside) and also locks easily from the outsid, it's just the unlocking from the outside. Which has gone wrong on 5 out of the 6 keys on the same day.

Might be wear in the levers or the bushing that (should) hold the key aligned, or a broken spring. You may be able to spot it if you take it apart. Take copious photos so you can reassemble it.
Can you post photos of keys to highlight wear on the bits
Is there a makers name on the keys
