Perhaps he only takes notice of N-prefixed night bus routes -
they used to be the only night buses in town. However some
years ago TfL started running some night buses on the exact
same route as their day equivalents - rather than having an
N-prefix, these services are described as "24 hour" instead.

Not always the "exact same route" thus the 65 is extended from
Kingston to Chessington at night.

Quite often in fact. The 10 (the only night bus service I've ever
caught, to get an early train at Euston) only goes to Putney at
night.

Err no actually. The 65 is unique in running further at night than
during the day but not having a "N" prefix to show the difference.
The N10 was withdrawn and replaced by a 24 hours route 10 to
Hammersmith with the 24 hours 33 running from Hammersmith to
Fulwell. The section through Putney is no longer covered.

So, if I was still staying at my mother's in Putney (she died in 2012
and I stopped working in london in 2011) I couldn't get an early
train from Euston any more?

There is the 24 hour 14 from Putney to Warren Street which is close
enough to Euston.
