I have 2 of them and they look identical.  Anyone know who made them & what they were for?

As skipskip said they look like lug wrenches.

If you google double end lug wrench you will see them. All the ones I have saw are larger and for trucks. You slide your handle into the whole an turn. Some even have a stabilizer bar going to the ground.

And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

We call them wheel braces (or wheel nut sockets/spanners) in the UK - brace because the early one were just that, a steel brace wih a socket at the end - as cars got bigger, so did the wheel nuts and the brace didn't have enough leverage. Detachable 'tommy bars' allowed the tool to be kept in a tool roll. often issued as part of the car's tool-kit.
