MCP's tempi on the metronome are the same as on mine (German brand).
Astonishing are the great gaps for Andante (32 bpm), Allegro (48 bpm), and presto (32 bpm). No Allegretto given).
A few tempi given by Beethoven:
Allegro = minim MM 84 (5th symphony, 4th motion)
Allegro assai = minim MM 80 (9th symphony, finale = Ode to Joy)
Allegretto = quaver MM 88 (8th symphonym 2nd motion)

Beethoven welcomed the invention of the metronome (1816) and dedicated a funny round for four voices to its inventor Nepomuk Maelzel, where every 4th tact simulates the ticking of the metronome in quavers.
In 1817 he wrote: "... I thought for a long time to give up the paradoxical names Allegro, Andante, Adagio, Presto. Therefor Maelzel's metronome gives us the best opportunity."

About the nonsensical definitions of some of tempi:
Andante (76-108) = going fits the slow march (80), but not the quick march (114), which I wouldn't define as Moderato (108-120), especially if we keep in mind that 120 steps per minute, just the border between Moderato and Allegro, was the attack step changed soon to the double quick (as fast as possible. All marching tempi according to the German Field Manual of 1906).
