Leveraged Finance vs Leveraged Finance Underwriting vs Leveraged Portfolio Group

I keep seeing these terms pop up and I'm a bit confused as to how they're all related. Are they all LevFin IBD? Are they corporate banking? Or are they middle-office positions? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just starting to learn more about the industry and the terminology is a bit confusing.

Bit of career advice. Just pop any questions you have in ChatGPT. You will get quicker answers to your questions and you can follow-up with anything

 

I have and ChatGPT doesn't give me a clear answer or an answer that lines up with what I'm seeing in practice. It seems that each bank has their own labels and structure for the same functions. I was just wondering if their was a general guideline to determining what was IBD/FO and what isn't and where these different groups sit in the structure of an investment bank.
