The way I test out new Fedora releases is to see if the live image works on my hardware.
The other way is that I have a external USB-3 SSD drive that I use for deeper testing that needs specific software installed. For example when I had nvidia GPU I would test out the rpmfusion drivers this way.
In both cases I do not need to figure out how to setup a single grub to work with OS installed on 2 drives.
Having said that I wonder if you have two sets of BLS files that you need to merge into your preferred /boot (assuming you have multiple /boot's and f38 and an f40).

Should I merge something ?
Yes, copy over the entry file that is the grub menu items you are missing. So long as you do not delete anything this should be safe to do. Then reboot test the entries.
