No, those are two different systems. The number codes (referred as PKZ and LDO) were not introduced until 1941, I believe. The Imperial Era makers originally used letter abbreviations resembling the names of their actual companies, e.g. Godet marked their crosses with "G", Wagner und Sohn used "WS" or sometimes "WuS", and so on. Some makers even remain still unknown – we don’t know, for example, who was "KAG". Numbers on WW I crosses are not common. The only exception is "LV" who used several different numbers after the letters.
Also, many of the 1914 EK did not remain in the business as Iron Cross makers after 1939, so the continuity is quite weak.
Thank you again for a very nice and interesting description! It is highly appreciated!

Hi All,
cross marked LV 25 is an awarded piece from the World War 1. LV = Lieferungsverband für Eiserne Kreuze in Berlin (Association of the EK Suppliers). It was an associacion of small producers, and the number after LV is probably code of the particular manufacturer.
