well, i use:

pkcs12 -in "cert.p12" -clcerts -nokeys -out cert.PEM" -passin pass:<pass>
pkcs12 -in "cert.p12" -nocerts -out tmpkey.PEM -passin pass:<pass> -passout 
pass:<pass>
rsa -in tmpkey.PEM" -out key.PEM -passin pass:<pass>

to create the cert.pem and the key.pem from a RSA .P12

and this:

pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -out client.pem -passin pass:<passs> -nodes 
ec -in client.pem -out key.pem -passin pass:<pass>

to create the cert.pem and the key.pem from a ECC .P12

can I use the pkey for both? RSA and ECC?

I think the issue is that the steps you have use the `openssl rsa` and `openssl 
ec` commands instead of the `openssl pkey` command...
