The museum description for this item was:

Set of safety keys for the British WE.177 nuclear bomb on display next to this showcase. The keys are removed after loading the bomb onto the aircraft.

A Wikipedia editor has stated that the blue disc in the image is not part of the key set and is presumably a later MOD or museum inventory tag. However another Wikipedia editor states that this key is from RAF Bruggen, and the blue tag is not a museum add on.[1] See Discusion page for more information.
