Well, you actually told lvcreate to create volumes of 52MB and 12MB. lvcreate
had to round them up to multiples of 8, so you got 56MB and 16MB. What's
wrong about that?
If you want gigabytes instead of megabytes, use G and not M ;-)

Your output looks fine. All the numbers, even in the mke2fs
output, are exactly right. If you're wondering, LVM block sizes are 4M,
and can be configured (I believe) by tweaking a constant and recompiling
LVM.
Have fun (if at all possible),
