well unless someone comes up with some photo evidence I am sticking with sheet metal/thin plate lifter for now.

Mine needs a good cleaning but this is the steel plate lifter I have.

[rusty]

Because they both use the same general types of dogging mechanisms, plate lifters and cable pullers both tend to look somewhat similar, they are closely related.

I am beginning to suspect the gadget is a barbed wire puller tho, it somewhat resembles another one I saw the other day, and the 2 loop rings might make sense for a way to hook both a tensioner tool and a rope to the same hook.....

Still in the wild guess catagory tho....

I just looked through the posts and I didn't see any mention of the dimensions  of this critter.  Please post a photo with a measure of some sort laying next to it.
Thanks
