Why did BSAA and BEA split away from the British Overseas Airways that emerged from WWII
They didn't. BSAA was set up as a privately funded airline that was then bought by the UK Government before it started operating.

BEA really came out of Railway Air Services although some early European operations were carried out by BOAC before BEA was completly organised.
