Antique tool identification

Might be a angle tool for a manual wood plane?

Planing wood planks at a fixed angle?

 

Second...

Could it be a contour gauge tool of some sort?

Like a master pattern?

 

I know a little about metal working,

Not as much on wood.

I will look around an see what I can find.

This is a timing belt alignment tool for both the cam and balance shaft belts on the Volvo 16-valve engine found in many late 80s era GLE models.

 

Very rare.
