Help with Identification-Naval Axe?

Interesting old tool! I wonder if it might be a vintage ice harvesting axe? Not the ice axe for mountaineering but for cutting ice from frozen lakes for sale?

I've seen a lot of old ice harvesting hatchets. Not likely. blade profile is different along with chisel spike end.
