Walsh Brothers Flying Boat (from New Zealand)? - https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Walsh_Brothers_Flying_...

Slightly different one, but have similar float designs below the wing and above the wing, radiator at the front, small two seater.

You really can make most shapes fly... When even school boys knew the basics aerodynamics of a paper plane, it never fails to amaze me that, the first planes looked like that.

That's what I think it is too.

Lots of small flying boats of the 20s and 30s followed that basic layout. The Supermarine Sea Lion and the Seagull/Walrus were of this configuration as were many Caproni and Curtiss designs.

I'd never heard of Walsh flying boats before but it certainly looks very similar to the one in the linked picture - although the radiator designs are different.
