Try installing rEFInd to a USB stick, then boot from it. It will
(hopefully) autodetect your various EFI partitions and build a list of
target systems that you can boot.

The USB image is available here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.12.0/refind-flashdrive-0.12.0.zip/download

Since you managed to boot from a USB stick before, this might be enough
of a bodge to get you going.
