Gita Bhashya - Acahrya Madhwa Text related clarifications

1. This is clarification request on the way 'introductory invocation text' shown for some chapters of Acharya Madhwa commentary on Srimad Bhagavad-Gita, ( One of the sarvamoola granthas) and the last sloka of Gita 18-78 ). This model of adding a 'devataa name' at the introductory invocation is not seen in the commentaries of Acharya Shankara and Ramanuja.

Acharya Madhwas commentary on Gita starts at 2-11. At this point, there is no introductory invocation text. ( https://sites.google.com/site/srimadhvyasa/ and https://srimadhvyasa.wordpress.com/acharya-madhwa/srimad-bhagavad-gita-bhashya/ - Text edits published by Sri Vyasanakere Prabhankanacharya). This link does not show the introductory invocation text shown in Gita Supersite link.
Also I notice that the ending portion of Acharya Madhwa Bhashya in Gita Supersite for 18-78 has two verses which is not seen in the link <https://srimadhvyasa.wordpress.com/acharya-madhwa/srimad-bhagavad-gita-bhashya/ -- Text edits published by Sri Vyasanakere Prabhankanacharya>.
The introductory invocation in Acharya Madhwa bhashya are seen at the chapter commencement, shown below. Some chapters have a < । म्। > (which could be for ' Om / Hari Om / Or just a computer glitch !).
Rest of the chapters have no such indicated introductory invocation.
Chapter 4: श्रीमदमलबोधाय नमः।
Chapter 7: श्रीमद्वरदराजाय नमः।
Chapter 8: नमः श्रीमते कृष्णाय।
Chapter 9: श्रीरङ्गनाथाय नमः।
Chapter 12: उपासनाप्रियाय नमः |
Chpater 14: साधनकृज्ज्ञानदात्रे नमः |
Chpater 15: संसारच्छेत्रे नमः |
Chpater 16 : साधनविघ्नहर्त्रे नमः
Chapter 17: सर्वगुणपूर्णाय नमः |
Chpater 18 : अनन्तगुणपूर्णाय नमः |
The above 'text of introductory invocation' is seen in the scanned text available at the resource url : https://archive.org/stream/Srimad.Bhagavad-Gita.with.Eleven.Commentaries.by.Shastri.Gajanana.Shambhu.Sandha/Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita.with.Eleven.Commentaries#page/n389/mode/2up
B) Acharya Jayateertha does not make any pointer to the value of such introductory invocation. In fact, only in chapter 3 and 6 of Jayateertha commentary, we see the text reading < श्रीव्यङ्कटेशाय नमः।> .
QUESTION-1: Is there any special significance on why Acharya Madhwa (seems to have used) the above names in relation to select Gita Chapters? Or is it a ' Text editing/ entry glitch and linked to the copy-scribe of the manuscripts'?
Question -2: What may be the Authenticity of the two slokas ( obviously in bad taste) noted as end portion of 18-78 Acharya Madhwas commentary as per link of Maharashtra publication and which seem to have been ' dropped in current available Kannada version, reading as below ?
।18.78।। पूर्णादोषमहाविष्णोर्गीतामाश्रित्य लेशतः। -- < निरूपणं कृतं तेन प्रीयतां मे सदा विभुः।सङ्कराख्यस्य दुयोर्नेर्निस्सृतेन रजस्वला। गीतानारी समीरेण शोधिता हंसरूपिणा।।1।।
मायिनः शलभायन्ते भास्करस्तस्करायते। यस्य तस्मिन्प्राणनाथे यतीन्द्रे भक्तिरस्तु मे।।2।। >
How are the above slokas treated for the authenticity in the current tradition of Gita studies in Madhwa sampradaya and academics ?
