Apart from 11a which I initially thought was the name of a crop e.g. rice followed by an anagram of see men and being the name of a desert e.g. Sahara.

In other words, I feel a clue can be equally valid with or without them. It’s just a flourish at the end which might be included depending on the surface reading or other factors.

Yes, they might give a necessary hint to a cryptic treatment in a straight cryptic definition.

Did think, when solving, that maybe the ? in EWE LAMB was because a lamb is not exactly a sheep, being a young one.

Liked DINNER PLATE though I may have seen the anagram before, which is no reason not to see it again.
