Here are several sets of pics, not sure what needs a closer look or not for WW2

5 1/2" nippers came in the Electricians Tool Set I recently put together.

Yes, I think so. Nippers were made for farriers and electricians. Some of those look like farrier nippers.

Some where along the line they got a coat of greenish/grey paint.

Those are keepers. Definitively WWII vintage, definitively the GMTK specified length and combination cut for the tin snips, and WISS is a verified supplier.

The various machinists' tools (inside calipers, outside calipers, dividers, etc) are maybes. By the way, the tools that you are calling "drawing tools" are machinists tools, and the one at the top is a surface gauge, with its scriber intact. That's a nice piece. Can't tell how old without close-ups, name and model number.

There were nippers in one of the higher echelon specialists sets. Either the blacksmiths' or the sheet metal mechanics. Possibly battery expert. I'd have to look and type and lengths.

Everything else is probably pre-war. Especially the farm tools/multi-wrenches.

Thank you. Next time I'm down will give the nippers a closer look for any markings. Anything specific I should look for.
