I happened to have the Buck and Hickman catalogue out, and I honestly don't think it's a scraper. Three-sided, yup. Four? Apparently not. I'd go with reamer, if pushed.

I've found online reference to triangular scrapers. I'm slightly confused; the "classic" bearing scraper has a smooth shaft ending in a sharpened cutting head, and you use the shaft as a handle to apply pressure and control during use.
If the whole length of the edges are sharpened, these 3 and 4 sided scrapers must be handled in a quite different way.
