I've given this a little more thought..I think i can use the SpFindPeoplePicker as is.
if i use the following code
I've give it a try tomorrow.

if i use the following code
$('#sp-peoplepicker-topLevel').dialog('option', 'title', 'employeePP');
to rename the title of the sp-peoplepicker-topLevel DIV i can then use that to enter the peoplePickerDisplayName. Should work as normal from then on in? I'm guessing the OTB version of this does not actually know anything about the column the people picker is attached to (in my case its not)?I've give it a try tomorrow.
