German 20mm Headstamp Information needed

Just starting collecting the bigger stuff. I have two German rounds that I am confused with.
At 6 o'clock on both is BV in a circle. Is this the manufacturer and who is it, or is this an ordinance code.
At the 12 o'clock position, one has a BM in a circle marking, the other has an M in a circle marking. Who or What do these codes denote? Thanks

actually the cartridges are 15x96 MG
