This thing rang a bell with me but it's taken me a while to work it out. I think it's probably a battery tester for the PF2 Pocketfone (aka Pocketfone 70). These were in wide use in the Armed forces at one time for things like Barracks Security comms. Because they (and their ancillaries) weren't for "tactical" use they appeared in their normal civilian colour scheme
The battery was a squat "cuboid" with exposed contacts on both one side and the bottom. Moreover, although flat on the surface visible when installed on the radio, they had indentations in the top and side that I think match the top 3 studs on the tester. I haven't found a picture of a battery on the net but if you have a look at the pictures of the radio half way down this page you'll get the idea.
