Yes NCL-ABZ has been dropped before starting. SOU-ABZ will now be formed of linking SOU-MME and MME-ABZ together, from end of August when the full schedule kicks in.
This is all assuming the SOU-MME route survives the current LHR swap carry on.
Interestingly SOU-NCL & rtn is currently running with a ~4 hour sit at NCL (presumably where the ABZ leg would have been?), could be reinstated if SOU-MME is dropped?
