Right after logically going back and forth through the urdf and doing various things it turns out that the reason that the other joints / links are not showing up is that they are listed as 'revolute', and that changing them to 'fixed' results in there appearance.
The question I have now is why this is the case?
Is it related to the turtlebot model or its particular type?
The PR2 robot model I assume has revolute joints and is essentially a mobile manipulator, which in some ways this is meant to be.
Surely it must be possible to add a robotic arm to the turtlebot urdf model etc, as it has been done before with the turtlebotArm package.

Right the answer turns out to be simple, all it was, was the lack of a joint_state_publisher node as discussed in

Well don't I feel foolish :)
