I wondered if it was a way to depressure individual cylinders, but it's just a priming device.

I would be
impressed! Very good, lady. 
My first guess was it being a plug for some manner of gas fueled (non-carburetored) combustion engine such as propane.

One of our group thought it may be for coal-gas fired vehicles from WW11.

PF,
Coal gas is a mix of hydrogen, CO and Methane, originally a by-product of coking coal for steelmaking. It was in use in Sydney up to the 70s, where it was bypassed largely by "natural gas" a topped petroleum gas.
In Britain during WW11, some civvy service vehicles were converted to run on coal gas (usually held in balloons attached to the roof of the vehicle). They were mainly delivery vehicles whose routes exceeded their fuel rations, but some doctors etc had them fitted to their cars.
Well spotted and researched Fang.

I had an exhausting day, and I don't even know why. But I'm wiped.

A friend gave me some red orach plants and I need to get down to my allotment to get them planted.
