AEM maker
Your last one "EMI" could be the well known Fuze maker specialising in Electronic fuzes (proximity) at Hayes in Middlesex just outside London.
The premises are still there although now not used by EMI as far I know, a lot of research was carried out in the laboratories up until the late 90's I believe.
I also had a few Bofors 40/60 fuzes marked "AEM" but never fully identified the maker but suspected they were of American origin.

I have some examples of the No 221 time fuze with JAP on them, dated around 1942, so guess JAP was probably British.
