Yes, Gaunt took over B&P in 1925 (the same year they took over J&Co). The Gaunt archives (in London and B'ham) include the B&P and J&Co archives
I would be very interested if G used B&P dies. Because I'd like to know if they used such B&P for the King's badges!
Certainly G used J&Co (though fully marked [offr badges] ones could have been used before 1925). There are 'Gaunt late Jennens' well known marks BUT I have detected subtle alterations.
