I have several wood rasps and they do not look like these three.
I have also seen a rasp similar to your pic and was told it was a farriers rasp. I have it some place.
I asked the question because one of my neighbors said he thought they were farriers rasps.

After you said it was a poor pic of the top file, I took a closer look and you are correct in that it is the same cutting pattern as the auto body tools I described.

With that said, that's the first of it's kind that I've seen, but I don't doubt that it was used in auto body repair long before I practiced the trade.

Here's some pics of the ones I have--NOTE: Neither has been used since the early 80's
