Em Hotep!
I have a little info:
The Met Museum has a statue pair featuring Isis and Wepwawet,
New Kingdom, Dynasty 19, reign of Ramesses II, ca. 1279–1213 B.C.E.
Egypt, Middle Egypt, Asyut (Assiut, Siut; Lykopolis), Tomb of Siese, Khashaba
Limestone, H. 129 (50 13/16 in); w 62 cm (24 7/16 in)
Rogers Fund, 1917, Accession Number 17.2.5
The museum photo has better clarity than mine:
https://images.metmuseum.org/CRDImages/eg/original/DP310779.jpgThe hieroglyphs say "Aset-Mut-Hethert". So this combination started at least as early as the 19th Dynasty.
Hethert has an unusual association in the area of Asyut. See this wall likely from a temple to Wepwawet in Asyut:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/manna4u/31955007057/in/faves-50870232@N07/A 2-foot-long stone wall relief featuring Wepwawet, "Lord of the Two Lands" with Hethert and Seti I, son of Ra, was repatriated to Egypt in 2015, after being smuggled to the United Kingdom.
It's now on display at the Sohag Museum. This relief comes from Asyut, where there is a Wepwawet temple under the streets of modern Asyut that was built by Seti I.
The town hieroglyphs say "Asyut"
http://joanannlansberry.com/other/asyutglyphss.jpg The wall features an unusual form of the goddess Hethert:
"It is not usual for the god Upwawet to be visibly associated with a particular goddess, but in Asyut his consort was Hathor of Medjed, an otherwise virtually unknown form of the deity. Medjed was probably a place in the gebel outside Asyut. This manifestation of Hathor is always in human form, with the disk and horns surmounting the figure of a beautiful young woman." Anubis, Upwawet, and Other Deities: Personal Worship and
Official Religion ... By Terence DuQuesne, page 28
So possibly "Hathor of Medjed" is also "Hathor-Isis" (Hethert-Aset).
A side off topic mention:
In the statue at the Met, Wepwawet bears a title he shares with Yinepu, "Lord of the Sacred Lands"
