Would a total change in diet/turnout/work load/shoes being off cause these??

In a word - yes.
Ime event lines in themselves aren't cause for concern - it's when you get the constant ripples in the hoof walls that there is a problem.

He has never really had them before and the front feet seem to have them more pronunced than the back. However the back feet have remained unshod whereas the fronts haven't so perhaps that is why.
The major line seems uniform the whole way round the foot on both fronts, so not rippled, which is good.
His whole way of life has completely changed, so I guess this is the result.
Thanks

So long as you can explain each one, then I wouldn't worry .
Its when you see hoof walls with multiple lines but you haven't really changed very much that you need to think about getting the horse off the grass.
