Have you considered checking at an auto parts store for one in that size..While not 'Parker Hale', I have some that are made like screw drivers that were in my dad's tool chest that I inherited...
If nothing else, you might get a machine shop to cut you one that will work, by modifying a socket...

Was in the hydraulic business for 35 years and a lot of spanner nuts used in hydraulics. Have made many special spanner wrenches over the years using allen wrenches for the pins.
Depending upon the tools at your disposal, you can braze the pins to a C shaped piece of flat stock, say 1/8"x1/2 or 3/4" and braze that to a handle. The size can be adjusted by squeezing the C in a vise to close, etc.
Another method that would work well for the type of nut you have is to select the allen wrench that fits your hole size and simply drill two properly spaced holes (to fit your nut) through a short piece of 1/4" thick flat steel. Drill holes a few thousandths of an inch smaller than the allen wrench and press a couple of short pieces of the allen wrench into the handle.

That looks very close to my Parker-Hale a .243 imported to a co. in Colorado. It has been a very accurate rifle, not sure of the twist think about 1:10. Likes 70 to 85 gr bullets. I am not sure of the model # I think 1200.

On an FN or Browning that doesn't need to come out to pull the action
and barrel, are you refinishing? Anyway I use and old socket about the
right size and weld drill bit shanks on each side. In your case make a template
of your hole to hole distance to weld the tool together in.

Shouldn't. My Parker Hale doesn't even have them. But they are all on a spanish
mauser action I believe. The cross bolt just reinforces the front screw and lug
area in the wood.
