But if I add my SEN number and book the seat (not saved the PNR yet) it shows this:

And I could pick them. So if you are SEN, I would call OS and ask to be assigned 2DG. Why 2A and 2DG are marked 'preferential' is a mystery to me. 2A is one of the seats where you are right next to the aisle?

Exactly our flight is in the B767 and it is the same issue. I can not select the seats with SEN status and will call in.
Furthermore, on the same OS aircraft type, how to explain 11C and 11D blocked in PremEco ? :-)

2A is the seat next to the aisle you are correct and I would not mark it as preferred....
