Identification head stamps on US .90 shell cases

On my series of US .90 cases (I have T2, T3 and T4) I found head stamps that are most likely Frankford Arsenal. Does anybody know the meaning of "FAIEDB" and "FAIWPB"?
 
Interesting to see the marking EDB on a 1.1 inch shell case in my collection that has a clear separate FA marking. It is known the .90 cases are based on these 1.1 inch cases. So it seems FA or maybe FAI can be split form (I)EDB and (I)WPB where the last letter seems to match.
