Even if this is true - which I doubt, it is probably not the standard HD6760.

Whatever AMD GPU the wii u uses, it would most likely be modified or updated similar to the way the original R520 was modified to become the Xenos on the X360.

AMD or ATI also updated the Gamecube's Flipper GPU to the wii's Hollywood.

So even if it is a 6760, AMD would probably have "doped" it up a bit, as this seems their standard procedure where console GPUs are concerned. Rumours also state as much.

It is not - because it does not belong to desktop HD 67xx series which is based on Juniper cores. It belongs to Turks core, so closest desktop counterpart is HD 6570 GDDR5, or if you look at mobility cards it's HD 6650M/6750M (both Turks based).

You are right. My error. I am so used to using "HD" before the number with AMD cards that I did it automatically. I indeed meant E6760.

Still it is likely to be an updated or "modernised" version of said chip. I hope it is updated anyway, as they were on AMD (ATI) previous GPU powered consoles.
