I'd started to send in a cri-de-coeur on this yesterday, but somehow it failed to arrive. Never seen anything quite so abstruse in all my cross-wording. Hopefully this will give me a start, but I still wonder what brainbox could have conceived this puzzle.

Thank you All. My brain is now less tangled.
