An unknown use Bell System tool

Anybody recognize the perfect handle style tool on the right? It is marked Bell System.

I don't know how to isolate a particular picture so you get them all.

From Pat Leach's July tool sale.

I have had one of those for a few years. Sold to me by a member here and we discussed it a lot without really deciding what it is. I thought it was a farrier's pick, but if that one is marked Bell, then that leads me in another direction.

Pat's looks to be a little different, but it, or yours may have been modified.

We need Aunt Phil for this one.

I think that is a tool for working a seam for the lead shielding the phone company used, they did piping and other junction boxes. Just seen a pic of bell's leading tools as I was looking for a pic of plumbers caulking tools to show someone what the tool was made for. They thought it was a metalshaper's / panel beater's slapper / flipper.
