Getting closer, but not the name I have for this one.

I don't know; the names I could find are: Glas/BMW Europa-Jeep (Rene Pohl-amphicars.com), Glas/BMW-Man (multiboard.com), Glas Schwimmwagen (glasclub.de) and "LKW 0,5 t gl schwimm (national)" Glas (bwb.de). Is it any good?

Is it VW-powered?

Sorry, but I'm not at home so currently not 100% sure what the mechanical base is, but suspect that it's not VW.

If it's not then is it NSU?

Now at home, but still not 100% certain as to what the engine is.  Suspect it's something bigger than an NSU motor though.

Any ideas as to what this might be called though?

That's the amphibuos vehicle by MBB (Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm) called Euro-Jeep from 1970/72, equipped with a 4 cyl. 95 HP BMW engine.
The whole project started life in the early 1960s as a Glas/MAN development.

I could see that you were itching to get this one.  

Well done, as it is indeed the MBB Schwimmwagen.  You wouldn't know what engine it used would you, as I don't!

I believe it lead to the ATW Chico, which I assume is somewhere featured as a puzzle

This vehicle featured a 2 liter 95HP BMW engine.
