Sometimes the only way to get to an answer is a bit of hammer research. 
Must have about 40 pitted nasty handles in the bin so why not find out what
the middle sized pin is (or was). Picked a really corroded one to start
with. Large tube knocked out fairly easily. Same with the small diameter
pin. Middle size pin required a bit more, a drill. Small hole first to see
if indeed it was peened on the ends. Increased hole size  and fiddled with
moving the pin and parts. Would not come apart until the hole was full pin
diameter. Does not appear to have been preened just corroded in place.
