Yes, you are correct. I got my restricted B1 when the system changed. The limitation removal was not a sucess either. First they wanted propeller experience which I submitted second time around plus extra ATA chapters and hand skill proof but that still wasn't deemed enough. The propeller experience requirement has been dropped though. That can be difficult when your company has 747,777 & 767's.
I know of 4 others in my company who have had their applications rejected at least twice all for vague reasons. As from September the CAA will recoup the time spent on failed applications by charging £170.

As for the content of Module 11A, it does and I was examined on wooden structures, fabric and various types of fuselage construction. Not much of that on a turbine powered, pressurised 777.
