looks good, the only thing i would suggest is on day 2 and 5, try doing it chest, shoulders, then tri's

In my opinion this may in fact be too much.

You are squatting 2 X per week. Deadlifting 2 X per week. Benching 2 x per week. Etc.

You are also only giving your self one day of full recovery per week.

If you are doing this many compound lifts I would at the very least recommend you find a way to give yourself 2 days of complete rest or active recovery a week.

Too much unless u r "on", even then it is still a little iffy.

What if the first three days were all very heavy, and the last 3 days were on the lighter side?

I'm not on right now, but lately I've been feeling like I am.

Your best indication will be how you feel, how your body responds, and how well you progress. U may end up needing more frequent breaks from training.

If u were doing some sort of HIT low volume training I wouldn't be worried about you overtraining at all. I do something similar to this.

Why do body parts twice a week? If you are hitting it... one day a week is all you need.
