Looks like a socket made for dual wheels on old trucks.   The inner dual was held on by a square head bolt on a few brands.  The outer wheel by a large nut.

Similar were used on mains water valves - different comanies had different sized keys, and sometimes an adaptor was required to operate a valve with a standard key....
