Actually "Cox's Submarine Bolt Driving Gun" made by Temple Cox Ltd of Bromley.

Thanks for clarifying, please let me know of it you have any of the rounds and possibly the old manuals. I bought two full Ex Admiralty No. 2 driver sets recently minus the field manuals and bolts.
Cheers,
Will

This thread maybe of assistance - https://www.bocn.co.uk/threads/the-cox-gun-bolt-driving-gun-the-best-of-british.106421/

Note the details at the bottom of the flyer.

Specifically for the manual, you could try the Royal Engineers Museum, Gillingham and/or the Defence Diving School,
West Bund Rd, Cosham, Portsmouth, PO6 4TT.

As an aside, Temple Cox Ltd., were mostly known for their captive bolt humane killers for livestock. Temple(s) did a lot of work in the US with various power operated devices for use in mines. One of them was responsible for the design of a rail punching device for use in the construction of railway lines.

Thanks for this post. I believe I now have 2 different lengths of these bolts.
I have to find where I put them but they were individually wrapped in brown waxy paper.
I had no idea what they were other than an explosive rivet. I will take photos if I find them.

Thank you @TimG for the thread pointer, really good stuff, I've tried getting in touch with Pommec, the company that was making new bolt guns. Fingers crossed we get somewhere.

@ron3350 please let me know if you find yours as I will still have them off you if you are wanting to sell.

Have a nice one gents,
Will

Sorry but I am in Australia so sending items, if explosive? is forbidden.
Is there an explosive charge inside the bolt? I am not sure.
