Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1098 - Find & Replace By Poat

Hello EVers,
Hope you have all managed to obtain your EV even though website is STILL down.
Having been stuck on this last night I have had a second wind and breezed through this puzzle this morning....... until the end. I don't have the full quota unless I have to change something else or another letter is included? Does this have anything to do with the theme (least said about that the better)?
Despite this stumble at the finishing post this was a most challenging and enjoyable crossword and many thanks to Poat.

I managed most of this yesterday ( I cannot figure out the word play for what I think is the answer to 21 d - the clue suggests a noun but the answer I have in mind is an adjective ) but now need to go back to it and move the words between clues to determine the characteristic of the grid which is alluded to in the preamble. A little matter of 33 scripts will have to take precedence this afternoon.

AHearer, email [email protected] to request puzzle. I do have a scanned copy that I could email to you but I've been told that it's against AB rules to enter email addresses here although I have done it in ignorance in the past.
For 15a you could just research Egyptian mythology. 19a "top people" = elite. 26a What's Oliver Twist's background?. 1d the paired clue is 14d, simple charade to give "salve". 14d after the replacement you'll be left with a hidden clue. 26d pairs with 19a, remember Corleone's title in "The Godfather". The answer to 39a could be "made in Wales", but isn't.
