Here is one version of a template

Are there any more to these templates you did not show?
Because, (and unless I am missing something) what I see are essentially
all the same (and quite simple). You would end up with something like
the following in your target file (with the cursor ending up at the x):
#+begin_example
* Site_Type: x
[2020-12-12 Sat 21:58]
#+end_example
In fact I don't even see where the type name ends up in the result?
If all my assumptions above are true, I think you would probably be
better served with a simple completing-read (or similar) function to
select the "Investigation Type" from a list and then simply insert that
along with a timestamp. Which it will take you longer to reply to this
email and confirm than it would take me to write such a function. :)
Benefit of that way also removes possibility of typos in the type name.
In fact, the above could even be done with something as simple as
Yankpad[0].
I have no idea what your workflow looks like, or where this data ends
up. However, thinking further, I would imagine it might even be helpful
to set one or more Org properties[1] for things like "Investigation
Type" (along with some other things I could speculate like "Location"
etc.). But all of that depends on even more things I don't know about.
If you care to share a slightly bigger picture view, particularly about
the structure of the data you are trying to capture (and/or, your
workflow) we could likely come up with something that would work much
better for you than a capture template, at least in this particular
case.
