39A normal clue, letters in place are correct...you're looking for a currency(capital)
34A Type 1 non-standard, letter in place correct, defn eddy
30A Type 2 non-standard, defn is Algerian infantrman (not zouave which I got sidelined on)
33D Type 1 NS, defn decline...all letters in place correct

I thought I had finished this, but then realised that one of my entries is not a proper word.
For 22a I have M?R?EE. Have I gone wrong? I can't find a word to fit.
22a Hastily learn warship returned to Cuba (6)
Thank you.

The first of the E's is incorrect.
22A is one of the type 2 non-standard...defn is "hastily learn" (4 letters)
