This might be:
W DD   30-02, 14 pages, Fallberg/Bradbury, no title
[desc:Pokerface mine] [xapp:DD,HDL,GL]

The guy's Dutch name is Jeremias Borstel. German: Schwindolar Schwan.

The story was reprinted in ZP 150, and this version will be used in a future
Dutch DD Extra.

DD 30 was published in 1953, while the other beggar cousin stories were from
the 1970s. So there may not be a connection at all, just coincidence.
