Limited Liability Companies Act
It depends on how you translate a Norwegian A/S to English. I think the word "Limited" should be included in the translation since the owners cannot be held liable for any debt beyond the stock capital
Public Limited Liability Company is a Norwegian ASA, so the suggestions "Public Limited Companies Act" and "Public Limited Liability Companies Act" are probably wrong.
The following four suggestions are probably OK, but personally I prefer the official one that you found on Lovdata:
Limited Liability Companies Act
Private Limited Liability Companies Act
Private Limited Companies Act
Limited Companies Act
Public Limited Liability Company is a Norwegian ASA, so the suggestions "Public Limited Companies Act" and "Public Limited Liability Companies Act" are probably wrong.

Limited Liability Companies Act
Private Limited Liability Companies Act
Private Limited Companies Act
Limited Companies Act
