Looks like the sort of thing that BT use to hook up and slide a
concrete chamber cover.

Why do people think is automotive-related ?.

For pressing closed the tags on sheep or cattle ears ?

I assume the tags have some sort of peg and hole at each end which snap together..

It is only aluminium and about 800 mm long.
not auto related but in Australia we have no groups suitable for such
questions so I picked a group with mechanically minded people.
The contraption is made in Australia (may be cooking related) ??

IMO its likely to be one of the things used
to punch ear tags thru the ears of cattle.

I'd say it might be related to leatherwork - shoes, bags, that sort of
thing.

Not often you can tell someone they are talking ******** and be bang

About 10th picture down the page.

Father used to have one of those Burdizzo tools for use on calves
,always made me wince when he used it.
Lambs he did deal with by a sharp knife but in later years he adopted
the changed to the elasticated ring method.
Having been out of agriculture for decades I'm not sure if the clamp
method is still widely use in the UK or even if it still permitted but
other countries still use them.

We've used them before now for electronics stuff - gaskets, O rings,
that sort of thing.

Crikey. I remember using them to put rubber boots on cables used in
airport landing lights. Summer job in a local factory, when I was at
school. Took a strong grip to open the boot - we kept the boots in a
bucket of hot water, to make them a little softer.

Thank you Sam and Tony. The ones in the link don't look exactly like
the ones I remember, but close enough, and I used them during school
holidays, probably summer 1968 or thereabouts.
