Is this driven by the desire to vaccinate more people, or more to do with the logistics of vaccinating this many people?

I believe it's because preliminary experimental results suggest that the efficacy is greatly increased.

I can no longer edit this comment, but I was wrong. The reasoning behind the longer gap between doses is logistical, and attempt to get as many first doses in as short a time as possible. It is scientifically unfounded.
