Please, Help to identify some marks

[flavanche]

Hi, All
I'm trying to indentify a few marks.
From my research, i was able to find that:

Sterling Mark is: Lion - .925 silver
City mark is: London - Crowned Leopard head to 1821
Date letter b: I don't know what means that character. :/
Duty Mark: 1786-1821 - King George III
Makers Mark: I think that is W.B. but i'm not sure and i don't know what that means.

Here is the picture of the marks.

Any help would be appreciated. (:

In the middle of the plate there's a symbol.
I think that is "4" but it may be a character. I'm not sure.
On the right side there is also a lion whith a crosswise. (:

Not an over-sized watch case but a serving tray with some kind of locking device perhaps to place and lock it at a foot stand. I believe not made by William Russel being a known watch case maker. There is a W B (without dot) and W.B (with dot) for William Bennet (registered Jun 1796) his mark seen on; flatware, jug, plate, tray, tureen. However their might be other possible matches.
