That looks like the sizes needed for changing out gas bottles, eg. on a cutting torch, but tough to say without a size reference.

Yes.

Below a Uniweld W06 wrench (after market replacement I think)
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

It would be interesting to see a thread on the varieties of this tool.  I've seen a few myself.

There are some of these wrenches that are quite well made.  I have/had one that was forged and marked AIRCO.  It seems that there are quite a few different sizes and shapes.
