Yes

Penny (altered) and something that happens when you get it! A famous cross wording phrase

:-) Barretter. Well, I'm glad to say I've finally got it.

Happy about that but sad that I still haven't completed the bottom right-hand corner. Any hints for 37ac ,42ac, 37dn and 34dn most welcome.

Barrett

Both the last 3 letters and first three letters of 1ac and 42 a are a number and are written in as such.

37a
Per? ???ts traps for ocelot

42a cant????? ??? Roast dinner

37d. Deer is definition begins r

Catch is missing a p

34d an and lit

First letters of first 4 words.

Unaltered it'd have 2 ps in it

Thanks very much Djawfulc : I thought 34dn might be that but the "i" at the end of 37 across seems impossible ; and I don't see how the "small vehicle fits between "can t.........oast" and makes sense. I'll keep trying.

I see how the Omar Khayyam word fits now but I am still puzzled by the "single-chairer".

Dee clue ends in e

The small vehicle is a

O?? Se???r

Yes, I know what it is ("single-chairer" was my clumsy paraphrase), but I don't see how it fits between "t" and "oast" as the third "e" should be an "a", surely ; and 24 down has to end in "e".

Is the implication that the third "e" should be capitalized and stand for "English"? [The "last" in the clue seems wrong as well, but I'll try to ignore that].
