i didnt know if they had a more specific name to acronyms thanks

The are not acronyms in the true sense of the word as an acronym is a word formed from the initial letters of other words and these are just initials. They are merely abbreviations.

Wouldn't PLC strictly speaking be an intialism and LTD a truncation?

There's no need to reply to this request for clarification if you are too busy.
