My SIL is visiting, he was a sumpy in the RAAF for 20 years and later a LAME at Parafield SA and he tells me they are definitely not lockwire pliers for the aircraft industry

Lock wire? They're not some sort of variation in the never ending evolution of twist tying reinforcing steel together are they?

Could it be a 'Wig-wam for a gooses bridle' ? There were lots of those about many years ago.

As an electrician and a leather worker I'm going to say I think no for eyelet pliers and cable crimps.
I think they might be for setting detonators in explosiveThose were the droids I was looking for.

Another point of interest to note about these is the jaws appear to be milled to specific thickness. This is unlike any other pliers I have, which all more or less taper to the nose.

I feel like it may also be worth noting that the stepped jaws at the back actually form three different sized rectangles when closed.
Aren't most pliers that are just designed to grab things just teeth and not a symmetrical profile like this?

I'm standing by my original swipe with fencing/staple pliers. I think these may have been the precursor to the version with a hammer face.I imagine someone has stuck them on the grinder and taken off one of the horns, eureka, you then have the modern version. The pins I think is where you slip a wire through from each side and rotate to splice. The new version you just slip it through the stepped section/staple holder and through the front hole, voila. The stepped jaw at the back is pretty much identical to some of the current z pliers.png

Perhaps they're for handling upholstery staples.

Not the same as fencing pliers. These are only 15cm overall and maybe 150gm.

I cannot help with the function of this tool, but the trademark is RAHSOL, which is an acronym of Richard Abraham Herder in Solingen/Germany. Herder has been acquired by Gedore in 1972:

Not all fencing pliers are for 8# fencing wire, these I would think would be for light wire, chicken wire etc. I'm sure you
would remember not that many years ago every second house had a chook yard, hardwood posts, wire and chicken wire.
These would have been perfect at 6"
