For the encircled LB, somewhat oval in nature, probability lies toward Lhermite & Bruyninckx:
http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge/art...ninckx%20gb.htmI believe the concern was centered around fishing components so there's some question of their involvement as well as a lack of info. The stamp is on both tubes but worked off some on the right. As Peter mentions, times were becoming difficult & concerns would switch horses to make money on what they could. So it is possible that fishing component supplier Lhermite & Bruyninckx somehow made or finished the tubes.

Kind Regards,
