Yep. Those tools are old, I've done virtually every kind of pipe known to man for about 35 years, and have only seen or worked with those tools a couple times. Maintenance in older plants sometimes requires them, but plumbers who know how to use them correctly these days are scarce as hens teeth. Nice to see them thanks for posting! BTW, if I remember, the chisels are called "spoons" in lead and oakum work.
