The tool appears to be an Ordnance version of a simple "Crescent" (or adjustable) wrench. The tool probably had a variety of uses.

FWIW.

Not sure of the markings but the British is for all practical purposes the same as the one in the factory tool kit for the series II and IIA land Rovers. I have one somewhere and can dig it out if needed for more info. email me@ rdr38572@fronternet.net

..of days long past. The name escapes me right now, but as said it was the crescent wrench of it's day. It was built like a pipe wrench , but the jaws remain even to grab bolts and nuts , rather than angling to grab pipe. Also note they are smooth rather than grooved.

A bit of googling and found this..

It is an adjustable spanner. I have several of them of different sizes. They are very handy tools.
