In general, he would always just say he practiced Dzogchen, and left it at that. That was repeated again and again.
But he could also go into specifics if needed. Sometimes (for example referencing accusations of being a Bönpo, which he completely rejected) he would state very clearly that he was part of the Adzom Drukpa lineage of the Longchen Nyingthig. That is something very specific.

Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, who lives in Italy, was a student of both Nyala Jangchub Dorje and the lord Jamyang Khyentse.

Already happened before. Rinpoche's grand daughter is recognized as the rebirth of His previous life's daughter who was a famed Terton but she is not formally enthroned as Tulku as far as I can tell.
Life is like a game, either you win or lose!
Life is like a fight, either you live or die!
Life is like a show, either you laugh or cry!
Life is like a dream, either you know or not!!!

Re: Did Ch. Namkhai Norbu R. attain rainbow body?
That is a good observation Kai Lord. If there is enough support in the DC for the enthronement, requesting it could be put to a vote by the IDC. With the right rhetoric (see below) we might overcome any resistance caused by Rinpoche saying he would not incarnate, and we might get a majority support.
Of course, it is likely dialectically true, but it also functions as excellent rhetoric.If the tulku is real, it is because ChNN's transcendent state is manifesting that effortlessly.

The thing is that HH Sakya Trichen only formally recognizes and enthrones Tulkus when there is a unanimous request from the whole Sangha. What would be the chances of IDC coming together and getting behind this? Would be wonderful if it could happen!
Based on the ages of HH Gongma Trichen Rinpoche's grandchildren, it could be the case that H.E. Dungsey Siddhant Vajra Rinpoche (born in November 2019 to Khöndung Gyana Vajra Rinpoche) is the rebirth of ChNN (passed in September 2018). It could also be the case of rebirth date being prior to death date like Dudjom Lingpa and Dudjom Rinpoche.
