ISO 22301 nor ISO 27001 do not prescribe the structure of business continuity plan, but usually the plans are structured as follows:
- Business Continuity Plan is only a top-level document describing some general activities
- Incident Response Plans are the plans where responses to particular incidents is described
- Recovery Plans (for each activity) describe how each activity is to be recovered from a disruption

And yes, the format for these 3 types of plans is often different. This article will also help you: Activation procedures for the business continuity plan https://advisera.com/27001academy/blog/2011/09/26/activation-procedures-for-business-continuity-plan/

As I described above, response plan is used for directly responding to an incident; regarding contingency and recovery plans, the ISO standards do not make a difference between them.
