I can see the two USB sticks and four entries I don't really
understand (UEFI: HTTP IPv4, UEFI: PXE IPv6, both twice, so that's
four entries and I have four discs, but they don't look like
disks).

Output from efibootmgr:
+Boot000B* UEFI: USB 2.0 PENDRIVE 1.0, Partition 1
 Boot0008* UEFI OS
 Boot0002* UEFI: HTTP IPv4 Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
 Boot0003* UEFI: PXE IPv4 Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
 Boot0004* UEFI: HTTP IPv6 Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
 Boot000A* UEFI: PXE IPv6 Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

(-b 000b is the installation stick and 0008 the other stick
I tested; both no problem)

The first boot of this PC was with the installation disk (no
OS on the internal disks) so I don't know how it would have
looked before booting from USB.

I never did.
