O2 errors - 2C7E and 2C2B

I'm getting these two codes, 2C7E and 2C2B, on my 243k miles N52 with 3 stage intake.

INPA and google translate tell me:

2C7E - "Exhaust gas after catalytic converter too lean" and "P114B Mixture fine control via lambda probe (bank 1, after catalytic converter) - system too lean"

2C2B - "Lambda probe in front of the catalytic converter, system check", "P2196 - Oxygen sensor (bank 1, before catalyst) - signal stuck on rich", "mixture too rich"

What would cause a too rich error BEFORE the Cat, and a too lean error AFTER the Cat (both on bank 1)?

Any way to test the bank 1 O2 sensors? Can I swap the bank 1 and bank 2 sensors, to see if the error moves banks? (Believe I read the sensors are different for each bank...)

I appreciate any thoughts!

Grab a bluetooth code reader and read the live data from the o2 sensors

Thx for the reply. With 244k miles, decided the o2 sensor was due in any case, so replaced that earlier today. So far so good, but have only driven a few miles...
