As I understand it I cant re-setup the wallet in Ledger Live with the 24 word seed without a nanoS or nanoX device neither of which I have
Correct. If the information is that critical you can buy a Ledger Nano S, restore it with the same seed phrase, and connect it to Ledger Live.
I didnt realise that Electrum would only show BTC I thought it did all the BIP standards of (BIP32/BIP39/BIP44)?
If you remember all the coins you traded you can use other tools to restore your transactions. For ETH and any ERC20 tokens you can use MyEtherWallet. You can restore your ETH/ERC20 transactions by using the same seed phrase and passphrase. But don't enter your seed on the online version. Instead, you should download the latest release from their github repository, and run it off the hard drive of a clean computer.
