Lyotard Berthet Pedals - 2 models
the bottom pair have hexagonal spindles; the top 2 left pedal have 2 flats on the spindle, which means ... somewhere in the shed there may be 2 right pedals to match

The center core looks like it threaded on to a solid axle so that the tool stayed aligned with the flats on your freewheel, and stayed mounted in place against the freewheel since threaded on to the axle???

I believe your guesses about the Cyclo tool above are correct guesses. I've never seen one. Here are a couple of Cyclo freewheels to compare the tool to their notches.
This model of the Cyclo freewheel is unique in that instead of the pawls being carried in indents on the inner body and the ratchet teeth embedded in the interior of the outer body, Cyclo reverses this configuration. The pawls nest in holes on the outer body and the inner body has the ratchet teeth.
Very challenging to reassemble. I had to use magnets to hold the pawls in place while I reassembled the two body halves.

It looks like it would work well on old-fashioned knurled, threaded headset parts, although I don't think it was intended for that because of the bend in the neck of the tool. The VAR 78 was intended for that purpose, with jaws that looked to be a similar size but with no bend at the neck. It looks like this:

K-D, oldschool automotive specialty tools. These are originally for 1157-56 turn signal and brake light bulbs.
They are very similar to spark plug wire boot pullers.

The bearings are easy. The Super Lube synthetic grease keeps them all shepherded into their races. The pawls and the spring--- that was challenging!
The pawls just "float" in the opening in the outer body. There's no groove for the pawl to pivot in (such as Suntour Perfects or ProCompes), nor a hole and post (such as Regina and Atom).
Magnets were the only way to keep them in place, and as you can see I borrowed ones of the refrigerator to get the job done.

Mostly this can be problem when using a magnetic dish to wrangle them, always a big no, no despite many doing it without trouble anyway.

Yep, I get it, just pointing out that normally, as in practically never should bearings be subjected to magnets for causing them to not rotate freely in use as is crucial to long term proper function.

it reminded me of some "offset pliers" that Cyclo-Pedia used to sell.
They are clearly not the same, but perhaps ended up being used for the same tasks??
Personally, I'm a bit stumped as far as what parts of the bike you would use them for. Maybe holding an adjustable bearing cone that didn't have flats?

Doniselli wheel truing jig... There is a Doniselli bicycle in the Charlie family collection. I hadn't seen the name to my recollection. Now I see it in tools as well.

"Le Simplex" tool
Busy on other things so lots of sorting to do but found this Simplex tool - image search hasn't popped up any like it yet. Seeing the slot I'm going to make a guess that it is another derailleur alignment tool for derailleurs controlled by a pull chain
