My initial approach was to build the "gmapsupp.img" file in one go
rather than combining them but after running into the TYP problem I
added more steps to try and narrow down where it was failing.

There's my stupid rookie mistake! :)

After creating two styles with an identical directory structure I
thought nothing of adding a "typ.txt" file to each style. I've now
renamed the TYP files using the family id for uniqueness and it is
working perfectly.

Many thanks for your help Steve.
