Do you happen to know who Hanbi/Hanpa is, other than the article on Wikipedia? I am trying to find a historical text involving this character, but I just keep coming up short on the matter. I also think that it is odd that he is said to be the father of Huwawa/Humbaba, but in the Epic of Gilgamesh, Huwawa clearly states that he didn't have a father or mother.
I did some digging, and the only references I can find to him are texts that call him the father of Puzuzu (as Wikipedia says). I did not find any scholarly literature that said he was the father of Humbaba, so I don’t know where Wikipedia gets that from.
One of the most prominent places he’s mentioned is on this statuette in the Louvre. He also appears in other inscriptions, but again, only within the phrase “Puzuzu, son of the god Hanbi.”
Sorry I couldn’t help more!
