Help with maker monograms on cartridge cases

[Darkman]

An ordnance collector friend has a number of large calibre cases with maker monograms unknown to him (and me).
He would really appreciate it if anyone could identify any of the contractors listed, plus their location if known:

No. Monogram, Case, Year

1. EB ,40mm Bofors, WW2 era
2. EWB ,25 Pdr, 1941 & 1942
3. F & L ,25 Pdr, 1942
4. M. D. Co ,18 Pdr, 1917
5. MSF ,3 20 cwt & 3.7 How, 1942
6. RM/L ,2 Pdr tank
7. S & S ,2 Pdr tank
8. SH & S ,2 Pdr Vickers

Thanks,

Graeme
