The problem is that those blocks were the predecessor to the 110 and Bix blocks. They have not been made in years why would they keep making the tool?

BIX doesn't have a predecessor, and the predecessor to the 110 was the 88 series designed by Western Electric in the late 1970s and uses the same tools as the 110 type.
So what is this mysterious connection block?
In the Bell System there was no other cross-connecting system between the 66 type and the 88 type, unless you are talking about the 89 type connecting block which was only used in the COs on the MDF to my knowledge. But I don't recall what the tool looked like or the number.

You might be dealing with 3M blocks. They tilt downward at about a 45 degree angle. Telco's use them and some times they appear on building riser cables.

May be its an old Nortell block. I have a tool for that. Its wider then regular punch tool.
