I've gone through the depths of answers on WPSE and believe me I've tried various combinations but I'm unable to set it this way. The regex filled solutions around creating your own rules trips me and hence would really appreciate if someone can explain what can be done to either achieve the Desired URL structure or the way to achieve something close to the desired URLs.

Reset to default 0CPT does't have much options for building custom permalinks. What you need can't be done without custom coding and creating new rewrite rules, and handling permalink parsing.
I have plugin for working with post types and taxonomies, and it includes options for custom permalinks and more. It is not a free plugin, but in many aspects is unique, and you can check it out via my profile home page.
register_post_typeorregister_taxonomy, it will require a custom rewrite rule, which means regular expressions are unavoidable – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Aug 28, 2017 at 20:44
