Is there such a thing as a Off-peak Single ?


Yes, but it's only issued when the Off-peak Return is cheaper than the
Anytime Single, and is usually 10p less than the Off-peak Return.

I noticed that the
boundary zone 6 extension was an Anytime Single which seems strange
given the ODTC itself was Off-peak


A Boundary Zone "ticket" is not a separate ticket (despite its
appearance) but, rather, is a separate coupon that increases the
validity of the ticket you hold; it's like a routeing excess ticket used
when you want to return by a different route to your outward ticket.

Thus, if they always want to charge the same amount for the extension of
validity, they only need one type of ticket - if your zonal ticket has a
time restriction on it, that applies to the extension as well. Since
they aren't issuing different kinds of BZ tickets, they put the least
restrictive rubric on it.
