What is this voodoo - weird middleburn lock ring

All the middleburn cranks I've had, and I still have a few, have a lock ring which takes a tool that fits around the outside of the lock ring. A recent acquisition has a lock ring with Judy 2 pins to remove it.

I'm guessing this isn't standard, right?

I'm wondering how on earth I'm going to get this undone, assume a circlip ier won't have the strength in the pins for the usual force required to get the lock ring off?

Ah, we used a tap or small phillips screwdriver banged with a Hammer BITD! In fact I had to do this just the other day with a stuck outer part of a crank extractor bolt.
 
One of these. Adjustable locking pin spanner:

I have one, coming for a different workshop job, which you can borrow.

All the best,
