10d becomes birds after the thematic addition (the waste from threshing)is added to the front of the 6 word answer (def 'measures').
13d The 4 letter removal is a type of bed (4 letters) but also a theme word - the wordplay for the full answer is 'first timer' = DEB + 'discarded' (6 letters) minus the initial 'j'.

Sorry, hankir - the thematic ins + outs don't work like that, it's sufficient that that the 'G...' (in general) is put in, or taken out of the individual answers.
There are a couple of 'swapped' pairs, ('R...' and 'L...') but most are singletons - 'B...' 'C...' 'G...' 'M...' + 'R...'
