The meat tenderizer face looks like what I think is called a "butcher". It is for smoothing a rock surface.

Yeah, rock facing hammer. I have one I plan to repurpose into something more usefull to me as I have the exact counterpart in a .680 round shank chipping hammer if I want to smash some concrete or stone.
The other looks like a hammer made simply to strike rock chisels.

Ken is close.... Its not a Butcher.... Its a Busher, Bushing tool or simply Bush tool
