Can you remove the quill from the tailstock and take a picture of it? You may well have on that was made on a Friday afternoon and someone forgot to drill a hole all they way through for a rod to be used to eject the tool.
As mentioned, it looks to be the same design as mine and I would expect to see a keyway running the length of the quill to stop it from rotating when being extended/retracted. In the second picture you can just see the keyway in the 6 o'clock position (to stop the quill rolling off) and the large bold at the front of the tailstock that acts as the key.
I doubt if there are any features the actually extend into the bore or the quill. If that is the case, I would find someone who could drill a hole through it, so that you can use a rod to eject the tool.
