I'm having problems with how I think the circuit should look and what 
I'm getting from my readings.

In fact I'm now having second thoughts on whether this is a BJT or a 
FET - As I'm getting similar readings - in fact my latest test would 
put the collector at gnd , but the potential divider would point to 
the base/gate of the device.

Instead of the diode test, I've switched my meter to 200K and get with 
positive lead on what I think is the base -> emitter 163 ohms, base to 
collector 162 ohms. With negative on what I think is the emitter I get 
86 and 88 ohms, with negative on the collector I get zero to emitter 
and 163 to base - this is in circuit, so I'm thinking these might be 
FETs especially as on the diode test reading, I get a reading of 266 
between what might be the base and collector after swapping the lead 
polarity.
