what the "BS" stands for?

Not likely, as Bessemer is just a steel making procedure. Mauser apparently used these codes for individual steel charges supplied by different steelworks. "Bessemer Steel" would have been too generic. And, the basic Bessemer process was not used for high grade steels any more after 1900.
