The one on the right looks like a trim clip removal tool (or a crank removal tool for a manual crank-up window).

They both look like trim tools.  I've got a set of nylon ones that have ends pretty much just like that.

That's what I told the guy who sent me the pic. He said he's had them 30 years, and didn't remember ever using them for that type of push pin.

No, Hemorrhoid scrapers are stainless and look like a hole saw.
