Our 1940 M has a hydraulic fitting A 5200-ST 8 - There are two fittings.
With really neat IH logo aluminum caps.

That coupling was pretty common on IH tractors for a while (mid-'50s). As far as I know, virtually all quick disconnect couplings work by pressing a plunger in the center of the coupling to open the fluid flow. Exceptions I have seen use a manual valve.

The opposite half of the 2 individual couplings look similar to the halves you have, but are a bit different. The larger piece (that holds both couplings) is called a frame. The rear frame has a bar that inserts into the center of the front frame you currently have. The bar has a notch that engages to hold the coupling together. The lever sticking out the top of your part releases the latch. The bottom side of the rear frame has a notch that goes over the bar on the rear of the front frame for alignment. I believe the slot in the front frame is so you can use a lever to couple it when under pressure.

This whole thing is illustrated in several tractor Parts Catalogs. It is in the Farmall M catalog. If you have an early edition, it may not be there. It is definitely in the on-line copy on the CaseIH web site. Look in the hydraulics section for "Break-away coupling".
