If this is the case, then I do know, from past experience, that if you want to fit an earlier locking filler cap, then one way to do it is to drop the fuel tank, and change the filler neck for one off an earlier car (direct swap for the later ones, but has a different aperture where the caps fits in) and then buy a cap from Ford, if still available.
As above, you have to change the filler neck as I've tried this previously. I think Ford still do the locakble cap but you also have to buy a set of locks so it starts to get expensive.
