Beats me why the key would be broken off like that or why there is only one. Like you note, maybe the barrel came from a breaker's yard. It wouldn't bother me too much to need two keys, but it is better if they all match. Triumph key blanks are expensive for what they are, so getting the dealer to provide spares is a good idea.
I can't address the various colors you found on the engine or the black exhaust can. It isn't uncommon to swap the can for one you like better, so maybe that's what happened. It is common for the engine case and block to be a different color from the stator and clutch covers. Is that what you mean when you mention the different colors?
