Prior to Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, AKA The Prince of Wales, who knows what the British referred to the shape of the stock as. It was Bertie's preferred stock and that's when the term was first coined. In the eyes of the British, regardless how we further broke it down, anything that was neither capped, or straight, was a POW grip.
It may or may not be correct, but neither is our slang of calling every Straight Stock an 'English Stock' correct.
When they asked me in high school if I wanted to take French, Spanish, or German, I should have asked if they taught 'Romig'.
