Do you think it might be surface drive, like used on assembly lines?
Here's a link to a page in the 1979 catalog.

Similar part number..............might not mean anything. I know in the later catalogs, they offered "surface drive", but I believe it was more of a six point like you have.

Page# 103 in the #400 catalog shows a pretty good picture or surface drive, which appears quite similar to what you have.

What you see is a socket retention design that was more positive than the detent ball.
It required the use of complimentary socket design.
