Kinda look like screw drivers, but...?

Somebody on another list asked what these were.   No response after a few days, so I thought I'd bring them to our panel of experts.

Saw similar screwdrivers made for a gunsmith, or made himself, very precision tips with flat sides, but the one with the hole?   Those type handles go back some years, usually to the 19th century (turnscrews).

Could the hole be to slide a rod in for more leverage?

I'd say gunsmiths turnscrews - a Google images search finds many different types - but they all have one thing in common, designed to fit the screw slot tightly without slipping - you do not want burred screws, or scratches on the lock plates...

Looks close, as long as you google turnscrew instead of screwdriver.    The fellow wrote: "...couple of wood-handled hand tools that look
like woodworking chisels, but the shank on each ends with a square, narrowed tab. The shank on one of the tools widens out and is drilled
with an untapped hole about 3/8's in diameter. "

Need a clear picture of the tips of these, but they have some resemblance to the firing pin removal tool, which has a bar running through it.
