Is the answer to 20d - Squire's Alpha Romeo gets government almost overthrown - AMIGER?

And 26a - cheerful chime making little sense - SMATTERING?

Seem right but can't exactly see why.

Also

Could do with help with
17a In Africa, barter over counters (5) ???C?

and

29a Play nurse first? (7) ?????N?

abaci (counters) in clue reversed?

29 Pre Tend

26 Blithe ring

Amiger is correct (the Govt bit is regime).

The other is blithe - ring

cheerful chime making little sense - Could this be blithe (cheerful)+ring (chime) to give "blithering"?

Thanks alot

Sorry - it's armiger. AR for Alfa Romeo
