The dd worked fine - I could pull one storage device out, plug the
other one in, and it booted no worries - it was just when I moved them
between different NUC's (identical spec, down to BIOS version) that it
failed.

I was being lazy and trying to save myself doing another install - I
ended up costing myself double the time it would have taken to install
again in the first place.

I have to admit, this is the first time I've come across a UEFI
enabled device - live and learn.
