I wonder if those panels on the sides are floats?

Argocat/Crayford, Amphicat (Banana Splits), Penguin etc. All similar designs from a period when many differing companies attempted to fill a niche market. Some research might yield that this is a license of one of those constructors as quite a few had VW engines.
