If the charge is technically "wrong" but (including the statement of facts) addresses the same wrong-doing, the court would almost certainly amend the charge if the issue is raised. In order to exploit any such error (and I am far from convinced that there is a fatal error), the OP would need to be convicted by the magistrates without the charge being amended and then appeal against conviction to the Crown Court.

I am responsible for the accuracy of the information I post, not your ability to comprehend it.

There is also the problem that, as far as I know, the prosecution can amend the charge up to the opening of their case at the trial. If anyone who knows what they are doing sees the papers before then that is likely to happen.

IIRC it can be amended up to verdict. Not checked for a while.

Probably a wise move.
