Does anyone know exactly what pulsejet engines (make/model/thrust) powered the original emanation of this aeroplane?

Hi fabulousfour
.
Beautiful find. In the FAA Register she was called the Hartter Flight Engineering Dry Bones. Registration N2262 which was cancelled 13 July 2009.
As to the original engines, I am not sure whether these were indeed small jets or of the pulsejet type in which case they could have been Gluhareff G-8, (100-130lb?)
Your turn, please

Yes, certainly 
And snowshoes might also be helpful.
This is the second appearance of this one-off after been rebuilt following a crash. The first version looked a bit different and was only a single-seater.

....but version 2 looked better 
This homebuilt comes from a country from where one would not necessarily expect an indigenous built aircraft.
Engine was a Continental O-200 with 100 hp.

Have a closer look in the colder part of Europe.
The designer was chief pilot of a European airline that established shortly after WW2. He has the same surname as one of the main actors of a famous novel from Jack London.

Hi Fabulousfour!
Was he a pilot of Loftleidir (Icelandic Airlines as they call it now)?

At least a try
Hi BG, you have to go eastward across the North Sea ...
And concerning the main character in my last clue, think of a European beast of prey as his forename.
I will solve the mistery this evening unless Walter or anyone else is quicker than me.

fabulousfour`s mystery plane is the Larsen Special II. Originallty registered LN-11 (11 for Eleven) like the original single-seater. Later LN-LMI and she now is in the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum at Bodø. Designer/builder was Carl Ludvik Larsen, a captain with Braathen's Safe airline and it was the first indigenous homebuilt aircraft in Norway.
Mr. Larsen also worked on a biz-jet which was never finished. Atached a (1972?) photo of this jet with in the foreground the remains of the first LN-11 (I assume) awaiting restauration.
