I fit into neither group, and nor do the other people I know who voted to leave.

I couldn't agree with you more on this point. However, I suspect this had a role in your earlier summation of the two groups of Leave voters. You really should take what you read/view/hear in British mainstream news outlets with a huge pinch of salt, even when it lines up with your own opinions.
To give you one example of a group you overlooked, I'd suggest taking a look at the Left Leave website:
