Genuine OSD badges can be found plus many other items they made as well as their advertising over the period of their history shows only Lambournes with no (& Co)

Hi guys , as a 'novice' this "tennis match" has my head spinning !
Can someone clarify a couple of points for me :
1. Is this "discussion" about specific badges/marks from one period of time ?
or
2. Is it about the name/names used by the company ?
A quick search brought up a couple of items :

original First World War period 'Imperial Service' die-cast nickel plated badge scarce with maker's details "Lambourne & Co Birmingham"
|
and

the reverse impressed with Birmingham silver hallmarks for 1916 and maker's details "Lambourne & Co Birmingham".
|
So , were there 2 different companies or 2 'branches' of the same company making (and marking) different items ?
I may have missed something but a basic explanation would be helpful.
