Does anyone know the correct tool to crimp the following bushing of the CV joint on my W114 coupe?

Or indeed, anyone know who might have one?
 
No to both questions but I have encountered similar before but for now cannot remember where. Hopefully I'll remember but for now all that is coming to mind are snub nosed pliers sort of tongs to initiate the bending/folding.
 
Loads of options on eBay, I made my own out of a pair of old mole grips and ground the ends of the jaws to suit the clips.
 
If this is what you mean, I use carpenters pincers. Very cheap and have other uses :thumb:
