I'll ask the obvious:  Is it a coachbuilt "woody wagon" (or brake or break or kombi or...) based on a VW Beetle (or kafer or....)?

It is, yes.
What I really want to know is who built it, when and what did they call it!

Yes, Wendler is correct!
Now, what did they call it?

???  Holz Kafer?

Suppose that's pretty much the same thing in two languages!
But Holz Käfer is indeed what Wendler called it!

Do you have a contemporary proof that Wendler called it that way or are you just referring to the well-known Belgian site? It should be "Holzkäfer" or at least "Holz-Käfer" anyway, but perhaps "holz kafer" is just a (lousy) translation of the American description as a Woody Beetle?

Actually I got it from Coachbuild.com (not contemporary of course but nevertheless quite authoritative), but I will check it..
