Some unknown head stamps for identification (12.7 - 20 mm, Hungarian and German)

I am trying to clarify all head stamps in my collection, a lot of work! I have some cases where I am not sure about the meaning.

On the image are shown the following cases, and my following questions:

12,7x81 Hungarian --> what is the meaning of "B"?
13x92 German --> what is the meaning of "Pf"? I would guess something related to the German word "prüfung" which means something like testing. A collector friend mentioned maybe "Polte forschung", meaning Polte research.
15x64B German --> what is the meaning of "V"? I would guess Versuch (testing)
16x112 German --> what is the meaning of "A"?
20x81 German --> What is the meaning of "Vers2"? I would guess Versuch nummer 2 (second testing)
20x105B Hungarian --> is "P" made by Polte, Magdeburg?
20x105B Hungarian --> what manufacturer is "E"?
