MH - the market seems to consider that aspect in the Brand Value of the maker's name. This was common enough practice within the Brit trade that it seems to have washed out - either the broad market doesn't know or doesn't care. In this case, I'd bet that LJ bought in parts and actually made most of the gun themselves. William Evans (BV2) mostly bought in their guns and their shop seems to have done some finishing, but mostly repairs and maintenance. Army and Navy (BV3) did very similar, but did not establish the same BV as Evans - go figure.
