Can I ask, would I have any luck using LocationMatch to distinguish those requests which were for file attachment downloads, except by adding some parameter into the URL or having those pages served from a particular named path that I then search for? I am assuming I could distinguish images, javascript etc through the URL as the URL would end in .gif, .js etc.

Ah thanks, that would explain it as yes, it's a proxy.

FilesMatch matches files - real files, existing on disk. If your
handler doesn't refer to files on local disk, eg proxying, then it
will never match a Files or FilesMatch section.

The equivalent solution is to use LocationMatch. See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html#filesystem for details
on the differences between the two,

Cheers
