Probably won't need the incline bench unless you really feel it's lagging. The bench + OHP should be enough if performed correctly.
As for rear delts, some face pulls would be a good addition.Sports Science & Health Undergraduate

I would cut this down to 4-5 compound movements and 2-3 iso movements, but also have a different upper day later in the week. This will allow you to fit in a greater variaty of lifts.
such as
Upper A
Bench press
Rows
Incline Bench
Pull up
Curls
Rear delts
Upper B
OHP
Pull up
CG Bench or Dips
Rows
skull crusher
upright row
Hit the first 2 exercises each day with 4x6-8 and the rest with 3-4x10-12

First why do you want both days to be the same? You need to have a good reason for it to be part of your program.
Second keeping the core lifts the same and changing the couple isolation exercises is a good plan, if you want to keep the core lifts the same.
The reason I advocate changing the main lifts each day (or at least changing the exercise order and reps) is to help prevent stalling in your program, and allow you to give equal effort to all movement planes.
