CGB is commonly used on Canadian parts which were slightly redesigned from their UK counterparts. It will have nothing to do with Girling, but is more likely to mean Canadian Great Britain.
From another Canadian manual explaining the part numbers prefixes (in this case 40mm guns):
CGB...a) Parts re-designed to suit Canadian production methods not interchangeable with UK couterparts
b) Also, in some cases, these code letters have been utilized in regrouping stores to simplify accounting and storage. In such cases interchangeability will be readily appreciated by a comparison of columns.....
