Very possibly I don't understand what we're looking at, but it looks to me like you have an unusual crank arm fixing bolt that does away with the need for a dustcap. Like [MENTION=452633]52telecaster[/MENTION] said, an 8 mm should take the bolt off; and then I expect you'll be able to fit the standard crank puller.
Judging by this photo that I found on Google, there is slightly oversized recess, into which the flange of the fixing bolt fits, andthe puller threads start just below that.
The problem with this theory is that according to the website, the "Cranks are sold without bolts or dustcaps." Where did you get the fixing bolts?
(edit
Oh, wait... maybe this explains it:

I ordered the bolts and dustcaps along with the crankset. Oddly, they are side-specific. The drive side has a flange and the NDS doesn't. That explains the oversize recess on the drive side arm. IIRC, my standard pullers just slid al the way down to the spindle when I tried them. It was too late last night when I posted to pull out my caliper and open it up to measure, stay tuned for that.
I'm fully prepared for a "d'oh!" moment here...
