Not quite a tool, but part of the equipment of Australian gun tractors, the holdfast kit. The two large parts were stored at the rear of the No9 gun tractors behind the spare tyre on the rear right of the vehicle, while I assume the pegs were carried in the narrow box behind the crew seat.
The whole kit is very heavy.

This set belongs to another collector... does it look familiar to anyone?

Keith:

Those pins at the top of your picture look to be exactly the same pattern as in current use in the Canadian Forces.

They measure 20" long and are marked "SLATER" just below the eye.

They are used for anchoring the arch frames of modular tentage.
