Think we're heading towards 2-1 switch

Long explanations are good

Well I can only tell form my experience.
Keir could never lie in his bed for 20 minutes before nap, for sleep he has to be out in 5 minutes or it will be scream later.

Hmhm, but given that he was out faster for afternoon nap, so why dont you try put him in bed,when he usually falls asleep, gives him a bit more real A time and then you get real nap time in bed and then maybe can stretch it better.
Take it as from someone, whose LO has 1 and 2 naps days when needed. Depending on wakeup time in the morning.

Thanks Efka, I'll try putting him down later so he will go to sleep faster (well that's the theory right  ) e.g. 7am wake & nap 1 at 10.15am ish.  Do I stll limit the AM nap to 30mins or cut shorter, say 20min to get a slightly earlier starting time on nap 2 so he can still sleep 2 hours in the afternoon and it not mess with bedtime? Hope that makes sense?

As you say Keir would scream if lying there 20 mins, this could explain Connor's NWs with screaming

Hey there,
I would try the 20min am nap, lets say 10:30-10:50 and then long nap 2hrs later,
so asleep 1-3
if he is still fighting taking a the nap at 1, then its time to tweak again, I woul think that if he is to sleep for two, that 1pm start is as late as it should be.
