The reason for מוסבות שם is obviously the pagan nature of the names NBO and BAAL M-ON. It appears to me that נבוכדנאצר contains the three holy (to them, and in their way of speech) names NBO-GAD-ASHER.

The consonantal MT text of Num. 32:38 says MWSBT $M ($=Shin). The MT vocalization is "musabot shem", a strange phrase, which is usually understood as "of changed names". The Septuagint says "perikekuklomenas", which simply means "encircled" or "surrounded", which is a possible translation of MWSBT. Your understanding of "perikekuklomenas" as "fortified" is a matter of interpretation, not what the Septuagint actually says.
