Photo 1 is Artillerie Inrichtinen, Netherlands. Shows an A with a vertical I monogram. Not sure of the Dutch connection here.

Photo 2 is the filling Factory in Maribyrnong, Melbourne ,Vic, Australia.
 
ADC - Avon Die-casting
JWS - Joseph Watson & Sons, Leeds
The presence of these together doesn't make sense - can you post an image?
The AI mark suggests the store was passed to the Netherlands and inspected by them.
ME - as Ron states
FEB Co - do you have an image?
BCL - British Castors Ltd - do you have an image?

In answer to your previous post, yes, they were the manufacturers.
