Incendiary bomb tin opener??

Plenty of these tools have been found from a former storage where hundreds of German 1 kilo incendiary bombs have been burned in their tin containers. Could this tool be for tearing the tin open?

Its an interesting thought but would be hard to know if its purpose was for that?

I try to find a picture of the tin wrecks and post it later on. Anyway the tin has a seam at about 2/3 height all around. The seam is sealed by soldering a 1" wide band around. Some of the band remains have a wire pull loop but some don't.

Here a picture of burned storage of 1 kilo incendiary bombs. They have been packed in 20 ( 25? ) pcs steel tins. All steel parts found from this scrap are either bomb tails, tin parts or these mystical tools. So, they must have something to do with 1 kilo bombs.
