Thanks for your response alchymyth! ??

I was getting confused between post formats and types, and I suppose naming the display file content-{post_type} is confusing as it matches the format for post formats, I expect it’s better to use a different structure.

One further thing, right now I have made a file called single-<posttype>.php and modified the get_template_part call to call the content-<posttype>.php file.

This seems to work although the get_template_part call in the original single.php must do something similar to this, because the other post types with with the content-<posttype>.php files without adding another single-<posttype>.php
