Hi Dean

I guessed this was the answer but I was afraid to admit it :-)

Can you point me to any documentation  to allow me to build to this kind of layout?

I’ve struggled to find anything with blue-print/step-by-step installation which is why i fell back to DevStack...

I'll be blunt here, DevStack is absolutely the wrong tool for this
job.  The fact that you got this far with it is admirable but it was
never intended to support that sort of a custom installation, hence
the difficulties you are experiencing.  There are a number of
assumption in DevStack that are contrary to your setup, including
around the network configuration and how multi-node DevStack is built.

Unless you really need the services built from source you will have a
much better time down the road installing from packages of one form or
another, if not just using something like Packstack.  Sorting out the
network configuration should be easier as you will not need to
translate between DevStack's variables and the documented Neutron
configs.
