Don,
I noticed you didn't replicate the original completely, that is; there is a half hole on the original as shown in the photo but not on the ones you made. Was this omission because it has nothing to do with the use of this tool but used for something else?

The shape is also different, I made these to use- and a little different so they would not be passed off as genuine. I don't know what the notch is for.

Perhaps round comes to mind.

Also relatively hard to do round recess comparatively speaking; tooling comes to mind there.

The little feature is probably as important as the other simple notches.
