Question on some markings on an Hongarian shell and English shell

Hello,

On the Hongarian shell (127a.jpg and 127a3.jpg) 4cm M36.
Does anybody know the meaning of the letters Mlgv on the bottom?

Does anybody know the meaning of the symbol in photo 368a3.jpg?


On the English shell (89a.jpg) 13 Pdr.
Does anybody know the meaning of the letter G in the circle behind the letters B S C?


Thanks,

Jef

Incidentally, BSC stands for Bethlehem Steel Company, a US firm that made ships, armor and munitions, especailly during WW1.
this is the first one of these size cases I have seen.
 
Hy Jef,

in the first picture you can see the case manufacturer's symbol what name is MVAG (Magyar Kirlyi llami Vas-, Acl- s Gpgyrak).
36M is mean 36 Mintj (Model 1936). LGV is mean LGVdelmi (anti-aircraft).
