I think it's a Caster/camber wrench. Bluepoint made a similar set

I used these a lot as an equipment mechanic for fast assembly of hydraulic fittings before tightening with a full size wrench.  Also handy as a thin wrench for getting locking nuts apart in tight spaces.   I never knew the intended purpose of this type wrench.  I have seen them called "Service Wrenches".
