Many VMs of testing later and I have this to report...

In my file /etc/network/interfaces.d/enp0s9.cfg I had this line...
pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules.v4

Unbeknownst to me, that cfg file was being triggered by ufw through the
samba install, before I had saved the iptables.

Thankyou for your time with this.
I am happy the problem was just on my end!

Regards,
Kendal
