One for the Armor guys - tank tools!!??

[Danmark]

Hi guys, way outta my league here but needed to ask the question.

By way of background, 20 years ago I visited a tank scrapyard in southern New South Wales and among other things Matilda and Grant related ( all long ago sold on ) I brought back these tools, not knowing what really what they were for or off.

I guess they are tank or military related but only one set has markings on them ( see last photo ) but are they Matilda, Grant or something else???????

Any ideas - because they are wasted on me .......

Thanks, Dan

No ideas fellas???? .........they're free for the taking and as I said, wasted on me!

Ha - I suppose we will never know their true purpose but they WERE amongst tank hulks and tracks etc..
I'll try to find some photos of the yard - it was cleared up years ago now.

Thanks, Dan

I'm thinking they are CES items for track and wheel nut tensioning

I've seen similar type used with leopard.....something that was part of the maintenence kit....

Well the yard had Centurions- would they be from them?

Just a guess, but I wouldnt think wheel nut tensioning tools would be so light in build. They appear to be Cast aluminum, its hard to tell but thats what I was thinking. The tensoning tools for old International and Caterpillar crawlers are fairly heavy duty.
