How confident are you about this being C. diphylla? The labellum margins appear to be flat rather than recurved which would push this towards C. reflexa.

I'm basing ID on the clubs which are long. Unfortunately images don't show this well. For years I thought we had 2 forms of reflexa till some one pointed out that diphylla has large clubs and the robust form was probably diphylla.

Probably, but have some from today,not as focused as I'd hoped but may help resolve this. Should I add to previous images or make a new sighting?

Those look very much like C. reflexa with the curved petals and flat labellum. C. diphylla generally has straighter petals with downturned labellum margins that make the labellum look narrow when viewed from above.
