I took it down so I could see / access it better and it's just a std
LF job but with an unusual (to me anyway) 'built in' electronic
starter.

Erm, it wasn't the 'electronic starter' bit that was unusual (or
unknown / function to me) but this particular 'built in' one, as seen
top left of the pictu

https://ibb.co/5WpjQm5

It was hard wired, 4x the size of a traditional starter / the same
size as the cap.

I knew what it was and what it did, just that I'd not seen one like
that before so wondered how common they were (in that format, and
partly why at a quick glance I thought the fitting was 'different' to
all the others I've dealt with over the years and that the difference
might have meant it was HF (It wasn't obviously, once I'd got it down
and could see inside it easily).




Have you got a photo of it before it was disassembled?

That does look/sound like something I have never come across before.

Most unusual.
