Can anyone advise why a .xls spreadsheet, when sent as an attachment in an
Outlook email, arrives at one destination in a .dat format (and they cannot
open this) while it arrives at another location when sent exactly the same
way as a .xls spreadsheet? This sometimes happens when sending a Word .doc
as an attachment as well.

Try sending in "Plain Text" format to all receivers.

Some email clients do not handle RTF.
