I have no listing for B & SB. However, I suspect that it might be Bulpitt & Sons, Birmingham. I have them listed solely as B & S.
Bulpitt and Sons
of 46, Northwood Street, Birmingham
of 153-161 and 175 Camden Street, Winson Green, Birmingham.
Telephone: Central 3231. Telegraphic Address: "Bulpitt, Birmingham". (1937)
Better known as “Swan Brand” – especially for their electric kettles. The company was responsible for inventing the electric cut-out connector. If the kettle overheated, it would be automatically switched off.

Common headstamp.
B&SB appear on 1" inch Verey pistol cartridges and were fairly common back in the 60's.
Sadly it appears that I cannot attach the image:bawling:

Tim in answer to your question, yes they are/were all Aluminium and I also had a large number of pressed Aluminium fuze and component containers with screw caps (incidentally the caps were of pressed steel) but the bodies Aluminium.
