DISCLAIMER I'm sure cleverer and greater minds than mine have achieved this in other ways and quite probably with more finesse, but it does seem to generate a few questions on the internet so figured I'd post what worked for me.
EDITED 20/2/22 Following the post by hushcoden (Thanks) below it appears the uPNP setup I had included is superfluous to requirements and I've removed it, as I've never been a fan of uPNP!
I've had a PS4 for years and never bothered to fix my NAT type as I don't play online, however I've been lucky enough to recently get hold of a PS5 so decided to work out my NAT issues and thought I'd post it here for anyone who might be interested.
Step 1
I setup static mappings in my DHCP for both the ethernet and wifi interfaces on my PS5 (To give me the flexibility of being able to move it elsewhere in the house and not necessarily need a hardwired connection.
Step 2
I created an alias for both of these IP addresses.
Step 3
Finally here's my NAT rule (I'm using Hybrid NAT)
