I think they are for moving/carrying steel plate. You could probably find pics from old ship yards of four strong lads carrying steel with similar tools. the hook goes under the edge of the plate.
Something like that was going to be my guess, too -- like, for extracting something big and flat from a stack -- but I kept mum for fear I'd be mocked and driven from the PIF village. --rats

they look like they got mad at each other, putting up their dukes.
I hope one of them doesn't fly off the handle.
This is just a guess, but maybe farmer-made tools for pulling fence wire tight against a post to be stapled.
That makes sense. Thanks!

Not doubting you, but shouldn't the handles be at 90° to facilitate carrying the weight?
