UKOPS Mini odd hand

Recently started playing some MTT's again, few odd spots last night I faced and wanted to share along with my thoughts at the time
Any input would be appreciated!
Starts with a pretty standard raise from the BTN around 30BB deep, table has been quite active and frequent multiway pots, BB who calls I thought was playing quite loose/frequently
When the flop comes I'm mixing up some checking back with small C-bet (around 25-40%), still have backdoor nut flush and straight draw.
However BB leads for the pot sized bet, this is a play I saw quite frequently throughout the night across different tables, first question would be what range of hands do people typically associate this type of lead with and also then in this scenario?
IMO when I've seen these hands go to showdown, its been a top pair weak kicker type hand on the flop which are worried about being outdrawn, in this instance thinking 78, 68, 56 and then some pocket pairs such as 44,55,88,99.
I call as I still think I have good equity in this hand and think I can test him on multiple turn cards which will be stringer for my range and perceived range when I call - all over cards, almost any club etc.
Turn goes check check, considered a bet but then not sure what hands I get him to fold at this stage and dont want to put myself in a position where river bet needs to be much larger/shove
River I feel is much better for his range of hands considering those I thought he would have on the flop, however when he checks again I feel my hand is still beat and hes given up to an extent which makes me then think looking back the range I thought he had was wrong, I decide to bet 40% on the river, rather than going much bigger wanted this to seem like a value bet.
However looking back at what they would perceive my range to be it looks as if I have mainly have pocket pairs and some pairs such as A7, A6, K10cc but mainly 99-JJ however I would likely bet the turn 10 if i had 1010 and obviously all my bluffs.
Ultimately quite a narrow range I worry making my bet on the river quite exploitable and a relatively easy call for any 6/7.
Quite alot of detail above, thought it was an interesting spot and would appreciate any other thought processes
