grub-efi-amd64 is only for an UEFI boot. If the system boots from legacy
BIOS, you need grub-pc even on a 64-bit PC.

Did you properly install the GRUB bootloader on both disks ?
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-install /dev/sdb
Did you run update-grub in a chroot to create a grub configuration file
in /boot/grub and did you check it ?

Note that GPT is only required on disks larger that 2 TiB. But it's so
cool even on smaller disks. However, some BIOSes are broken and may not
boot a standard GPT disk, see

An EFI system partition is only needed when booting from UEFI, with
grub-efi-amd64.

Small ? 24 MiB is just huge for this partition. Even 1 MiB is big.
