Some across clues have an extra letter in the wordplay.
A few down clues have an extra in the clue which needs to be removed before solving

34 SERF
9d DOG

[ProfessorMaisie]

34 alternate letters of Se[Q]uEl, with the Q extra + RF (French Republic).
9 the S is extra - 'DOG' = a traitor in Aus.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...and 25 'Put on' = WAGE(r) with the r extra.
