The tool on the left will set you back a good $50!
I’ve seen a lot of fixed cups going all the way back to cottered cranks and I can’t recall ever seeing one with that configuration. The cup you show is a common
adjustable cup but not a fixed cup. Fixed cups that I’ve seen are almost exclusively have flats on the very outer edges of the cup and use a 36mm (1.4”) wrench to remove. Like this one.
One other pet peeve: If you are going to post a tool and say “it will set you back about $50”, how about sharing a link or at least giving a manufacturers name? Save the rest of us some Googling.
