It is a KLANN 0025 made for SPX/Miller Tools for use by the dealerships on the Chrysler Cross Fire cars. It doesn't have the Size #2 plates because that car has Size # 1 springs both front and rear. The short shaft compressor is designed for more modern cars with 5-link rear suspensions where a longer shaft compressor won't work. At one time Mercedes spec'd a tool adapter that was a ring shaped collar that slid over the compressor before the bottom plate and effectively shortened the compressor's working length but that tool adapter has been NLA for years.

That eBay seller is also forum member

A set of upper and lower Size # 2 plates will cost about 250-300 Euro, a short shaft compressor by itself is about 500 Euro for new replacement parts.
