Yes, that's right. You're the winner. :-)

This is a *variant* of [U+9ecd], with [U+efe2] in place of [U+6c3a].
Compare e.g. [U+257e6] and also [U+22863].

I know from context that it is in fact a variant writing of [U+9ecd] ...
since it appears in DUAN Yucai's gloss at 113.410 (SWJZZ). But what i
don't know is why he wrote it this way ...

This form is not in Ext. B, nor HYDZD, nor Kangxi, as far as I can tell
...

So, did you find this exact form in any character dictionary or list?
