I provide here a MWE:

These are the two instances of bibliography I am actually using:
@incollection{Leahy.2011c,
author = {Leahy, A.},
title = {'Necho' in Late Period personal names},
pages = {547--573},
bookpagination = {page},
publisher = {Uitgeverij Peeters en Departement Oosterse Studies},
series = {Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta},
editor = {Aston, D. A. and Bader, Bettina and Gallorini, Carla and Nicholson, Paul and Buckingham, Sarah},
booktitle = {Under the Potter's Tree},
year = {2011},
usera = {Yes},
location = {Leuven},
booksubtitle = {Studies on Ancient Egypt Presented to Janine Bourriau on the Occasion of Her 70th Birthday},
number = {204},
}
@book{Blobaum.2006,
author = {Bl{\"o}baum, A. I.},
year = {2006},
title = {''Denn ich bin ein K{\"o}nig, der die Maat liebt''},
number = {4},
publisher = {Shaker Verlag},
subtitle = {Herrscherlegitimation im sp{\"a}tzeitlichen {\"A}gypten},
location = {Aachen},
series = {Aegyptiaca Monasteriensia},
shorttitle = {Denn ich bin ein K{\"o}nig}
}
What comes from the codes above is:
A.LEAHY,“A mysterious fragment and a monumental hinge.Necho II and Psammetichus II once again”, in: Verba manent. Recueil d’études dédiées à Dimitri Meeks par ses collègues et amis, ed. by I. RÉGEN and F. SERVAJEAN, Cenim 2, (Montpellier, 2009), 227–40.
A.I.Blöbaum, ”Denn ich bin ein König,der die Maat liebt”,Herrscherlegitimationimspätzeit-
lichen Ägypten, Aegyptiaca Monasteriensia 4, (Aachen, 2006)
I would like the following changes, matching the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology requirements:
A.I.Blöbaum, ”Denn ich bin ein König,der die Maat liebt”,Herrscherlegitimationimspätzeit-
lichen Ägypten (Aegyptiaca Monasteriensia 4; Aachen: 2006)
This means that I would like to get rid of the comma at the end of the title, and put the Series and its number in the round brackets.
Moreover, for a contribution in an edited book, I would like something like that:
A.LEAHY,“A mysterious fragment and a monumental hinge.Necho II and Psammetichus II once again”, in I. RÉGEN and F. SERVAJEAN (eds),Verba manent. Recueil d’études dédiées à Dimitri Meeks par ses collègues et amis (Cenim 2; Montpellier: 2009), 227–40.
Any help appreciated.

The document below demonstrates style edits that will change the format and print order of "by" editors and series titles. For brevity, I carried over only some of the style changes from your MWE.
