I guess all GRUB versions are the same? And the USB disk doesn't use GPT
partitions?
Have you tried re-installing GRUB after Daphile has been installed (boot
with some other distro, mount usb, bind mount /dev,/proc,/sys, chroot
into Daphile, check /etc/default/grub, run grub-install and
grub-mkconfig) ?
At least, you'll be able to see if GRUB complains about something.
Also, have a look at 'this site' (https://www.supergrubdisk.org/) which
has some interesting tools to fix various boot issues.

Well, you probably have already installed grub on it (assuming LXLE uses
it), so you'd only have to modify the existing config to include
Daphile. After that, it'd be read-only.
