Thank you for the wonderful photos! Please post more. I still think due to the different designs that there must be some other functions.

Photo Ossetian with a screwdriver on his belt. And several screwdrivers of different shapes. But judging by the opinion of researchers from the Caucasus, the form could be different, but the functionality is the same...

the cutout slots in the tool could also be useful to get more leverage when put over a screw with a flat or winged head.

so much for my creative thoughts... the slot-hole-slot design would fit a winged nut perfectly but if there where none (not exactly, but alike) then I throw the towel :-)
