 You didn't look close enough last time you were in my basement. These two reside there on a regular basis.
 Top one is 5.88 long with1/2 octagon body and 1/2 wide chisel. Bottom one is 5.19 long with 1/2 hexagon body and 1/2 wide chisel.

Gil Irps lists following on page 21 of his IHC Tools list (1994 version) may have been revised since.

H758- 5 1/2 long 1/2 hex dis 9/16 flat tapering to 1/2.
H758M- 5 3/16 long 1/2 hex dia 1/2 flat chisel
E1021- 6 1/8 long 5/8 hex dia 11/16 chisel
G8894- 5 5/16 long 5/8 octagonal dia 9/16 flat chisel

Also punchs:
 G8899- 7/16 round 4 3/4 long
 HX722- 3/8 round 6 long with 5/64 point
 Don't know why my octagonal doesn't fit his dimensions but suspect there may be additional sizes.
Think I have 1 or 2 in my sell or trade stash but am not going to dig them out in December(maybe April)

Supposedly they came with anything that had a sickle bar in the horse drawn era.

 Yes as well as many of their tractors and trucks. Wonder we don't see hundreds of them.
