Unregulated fares = off peak fares, or as good as.

Hmmm. My understanding was that, basically, regulated fares = walk-on
off-peak fares (CDR/SVR), and seasons. Unregulated fares = peak
walk-on fares (SDR/SOR) and advance purchase.

Not quite. Peak fares are generally (or effectively) regulated.
Regulated fares are normally Season tickets, Savers or, for
shorter distances, the Standard Day Return or (in a few cases) the
Standard Open Return.
Most off-peak tickets, with the exception of Savers, are unregulated.
For London commuter services, and in certain other large urban areas,
a wider range of fares, including most tickets purchased by commuters,
are
included in regulated fares 'baskets'
