side unlike the Beaver with the van like side door, else it looked like
a 'bigger' Beaver. What is it?

The De Havilland Otter was essentially a big Beaver.

Which was followed by the Twin Otter...
Which was followed by the Turbine Twin Otter...

Twin Otter was turbine (PT-6) powered to start with. I believe the
turbine Beaver started off as an after market conversion, but DHC started
doing them off the production line like that. Same with the Otters -
originally radial engined, many after market conversions to turboprop. I
don't remember DHC doing a turbo-Otter themselves, but they might have.
