There is a Shabad By Sri Guru Ramdass Ji that alludes to pirthi chand on Ang 1200:

ਕਾਹੇ ਪੂਤ ਝਗਰਤ ਹਉ ਸੰਗਿ ਬਾਪ 
O son, why do you argue with your father?
 
ਜਿਨ ਕੇ ਜਣੇ ਬਡੀਰੇ ਤੁਮ ਹਉ ਤਿਨ ਸਿਉ ਝਗਰਤ ਪਾਪ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ 
It is a sin to argue with the one who fathered you and raised you. ||1||Pause||

 

There are several shabads that mention Hanuman (also mentioned as Hanwantar). Here is one, for example:

ਮਨ ਮਹਿ ਝੂਰੈ ਰਾਮਚੰਦੁ ਸੀਤਾ ਲਛਮਣ ਜੋਗੁ 
In his mind, Raam Chand mourned for Sita and Lachhman.
 
ਹਣਵੰਤਰੁ ਆਰਾਧਿਆ ਆਇਆ ਕਰਿ ਸੰਜੋਗੁ 
Then, he remembered Hanuman the monkey-god, who came to him.
 
ਭੂਲਾ ਦੈਤੁ  ਸਮਝਈ ਤਿਨਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀਏ ਕਾਮ 
The misguided demon did not understand that God is the Doer of deeds.
 
ਨਾਨਕ ਵੇਪਰਵਾਹੁ ਸੋ ਕਿਰਤੁ  ਮਿਟਈ ਰਾਮ ॥੨੬॥
O Nanak, the actions of the Self-existent Lord cannot be erased. ||26||

Is Hanwantar just a different way of pronouncing 'Hanuman' or is it a reference to the God of Wind (Hanuman's father)?

I looked up Hanwantar in Mahan Kosh and it doesn't explain the reasoning for using it in parallel with Hanuman. "Han" is explained as jaw, and Hanwantar is explained as "having a protruding jaw". Maybe he was from the more primitive tribals inhabiting India at the time.

I thought maybe it was a reference to 'hawa / hava' but the jaw definition makes sense.

Interesting theory I read regarding Hanuman and his fellows is they were a precursor species to homo sapiens.
