Weren't there also wartime type 1 based vehicles getting around with charcoal burners attached? I'm sure I've seen some pics somewhere ( kubelwagens, I think).
Wood gas was in common use during the war and post-war periods, due to extreme fuel rationing.

Not sure on type of wood but was the purpose to reduce valve train noise or,....... to reduce internal volume of pushrod to increase pressure, thus getting oil up to the rockers quicker on startup?

It is a balsa wood and they reduce amount of oil flowing through..
