Invoice spam with malicious XLS file from multiple companies

This spam run looks very similar to this one going out at roughly the same time, except this has a malicious XLS file rather than a DOC/

The "sender" is spoofed from multiple companies, so far I have seen:

Courtney Stark
Senior Accounts Payable Specialist
AVIVA

Phyllis Cobb
Senior Accounts Payable Specialist
DIGITAL BARRIERS LTD

Colby Burris
Senior Accounts Payable Specialist
XAAR

Randy Welch
Senior Accounts Payable Specialist
CAMELLIA

Kendra Cervantes
Senior Accounts Payable Specialist
TRINITY EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION

In the samples I have seen, there are two slightly different malicious Excel files with fairly low detection rates [1] [2] containing one of these two macros [1] [2] [pastebin] which downloads an executable from one of the following locations:

http://87.106.165.232:8080/mans/pops.php
http://193.136.19.160:8080/mans/pops.php

These locations are also found with this spam run and the payload is identical.
