Track shoe puller

Hi, on the battlefield (September 1944) I found track shoe puller. Maybe someone knows this from a tank or tractor? Very similar tool I've seen for sale on Russian online store.

Yup, looks like a type of track clamp. Try HMVF, someone there should be able to id it if its military.

Simplex track jack. Originally developed for Stuart light tanks but standard on Sherman too.
