The confusion in the latter case may be related to the the privileges of an FI who holds only a PPL. The privileges of a PPL do not include aerial work except for glider towing, para dropping or flight instruction and testing "in an aeroplane owned, or operated under arrangements entered into, by a flying club of which the person giving the instruction or conducting the test and the person receiving the instruction or undergoing the test are both members" Note that it is the qualification of the FI that requires the club environment, not the flight instruction.
The 'Club' requirement doesn't only apply to just PPL holders with an FI rating, but also to CPL/ATPL holders. The ANO Schedule 8 includes the same proviso for all flying instruction, regardless of the licence held.
I assume that organisations such as OAT constitute the club as stated in the Schedule,(why shouldn't they?) and that the AOC and Ops Manual via the Training Manual separately give you authority to provide flying training in accordance with your TRI qualification.
If I'm not correct, then I too am confused
