It resembles an army issue shovel, except it doesn't fold.

The aboriginal peoples and many cultures throughout the world share a common respect for nature and the universe, and all of the life that it holds. We could learn much from them!
But a mattock does not have a slender handle and it has a very heavy(pick, adze or axe head), not a shovel type head. Maybe it's a cheaper shovel pick combo?
I have a mattock that must have been made with green wood as Ieft it out in the rain and now the handle is off-set by several inches to the left.
You just have to adjust your swing abit when using it
I think both names probably will get you in the near vicinity of where the tool is sold. Frank, I did not think about contradicting you, I apologize for that.

I don't know the technical name but it looks like a masonry chisel used to cut bricks.

its a chisel ...but certain it is not a "hand chisel" ..... to be struck with a hammer - the end would be flat - not grooved like this one - am thinking it was used with a jack hammer

The groove, which I hadn't noticed originally, is end on the broad end, not the driving end, so maybe not a chisel at all.
