Right, so maybe use `(member type <list of accepted types>)' rather than '(equals type "newlatex")' in the3 example below.

A simple one here:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; minimal backend with latex parent
(org-export-define-derived-backend 'newlatex 'latex
:translate-alist
'((special-block . org-newlatex-special-block)))
;; special block transcoder
(defun org-newlatex-special-block (special-block contents info)
"Newlatex special block transcoder."
(let
((type (org-element-property :type special-block)))
(if (equal type "newlatex")
(format "{{<FOO>}}\n%s{{<//FOO>}}\n" contents)
;; not `newlatex` so default to latex transcoder
(org-export-with-backend 'latex special-block contents info))))
#+end_src
Eval the above, then use this as an example by copying the following
src block to an org buffer and entering
M-; (org-export-to-buffer 'newlatex "*Org NEW LATEX Export*" nil nil nil t) RET
#+begin_src org
,#+begin_newlatex
This is the new content
,#+end_newlatex
,#+attr_latex: :caption \MyCaption{HeadingA}
,#+BEGIN_proof
dot-dot-dot
,#+END_proof
#+end_src
I get an *Org NEW LATEX Export* buffer like this:
#+begin_example
{{<FOO>}}
This is the new content
{{<//FOO>}}
\begin{proof}
dot-dot-dot
\MyCaption{HeadingA}
\end{proof}
#+end_example
