Is this another example of the famous German practice of over-engineering!?

Judging from the location of the blower I suspect this was Gernold's fix for an underperforming Frigiking blower.

Will this blower also work for the passenger side of the car or do you need another blower?

Malc realised that his first attempt at turbo charging might not be the ideal solution.....

Actually, this is not a cooling fan at all.. it is the cars propulsion device.  It is in Neutral configuration in the pic, but once started , it swings to propulsion angle and off you go.
