Like you say it almost seems a bit pointless overwriting the penultimate grid E.
However, Arcadia has clearly spent some time and effort putting together a really ingenious puzzle, so many thanks to them.

Grid B
11a Checks special fragments in layers (8) SH?????S

Could it be SEAN from se(am)an ?

That is correct, Bunty

No, Buddy and drxx, the penultimate grid E is NOT completely overwritten. Look again.
