E Diminished 7, written Edim7, is built from E, G, Bb and Db: the root, minor 3rd, flat 5th and diminished 7th.
Its 3rd and 7th, G and Db, are its guide tones: they say what kind of chord it is, so voicings are built around them and the root is often left to the bass.
In the progressions here, Edim7 is the ♯i°7 of the Diminished Passing Turnaround in Eb and the ♯iv°7 of the Jazz Blues in Bb.
