 Catipillar.  Anyone with any ideas?

yep.  VW offered them on the diesel vanagons.
a friend of mine had a '82 diesel vanagon w/ gas (diesel) heater.....it had
the stock front and rear heater cores/blowers for the watercooled heat, and a
Eberspacher    BA-6 (DA-6?) diesel heater...
slow..van.....but warm :<)
