Default Old Herbrand Tool for pulling heads off Flathead V8's.

Hi Guy's.
Got this old time tool set from an old time mechanic who said it was for pulling off the stuck on heads on Flathead V8's; but he didn't know much more about it.
There are 2 pairs of long studs. One pair of long studs is threaded for 18mm sparkplug thread on the end; & the other pair of long studs are 14mm sparkplug thread. I guess you screw a pair of long studs into the plug hole on the head; depending on which size your plug thread is.

There are 2 bridges with a large square hole in them. I guess that they go over the long thread that would be sticking up out of the head. I guess the bridges sit down on the head studs(?). I reckon that you then put the washer & nut onto the long studs, & wind the nut down onto the top of the bridge; & that then pulls the head up enough to get under it, & get it off.
The bridges are stamped HERBRAND 2390.
My question is, would anyone out there have a copy of any original instructions for the tool, or an old catalogue picture / advert for it?
Or, a picture of a complete set; or even any information at all. What date / era would it be? Am I missing any parts for it?

It'd be great to have some information or thoughts on it, so as I can put it back to use again.

Thanks, Dave.
