I was simply asking for clarification. I guess I’ve always called it the stock heel or just the heel but heel of the comb defines it better I suppose.

Terminology is always up for debate, but since we call that 'corner' the heel. and we call the bottom the 'toe' ( I like heel and toe plates on nice English guns), and it's generally accepted that we call the pointed end of the comb the 'nose', it just seems logical we call the rear corner of the comb the 'heel of the comb'.
All of that notwithstanding, 'that' part of the Repro stock has a larger radius than either a Meriden, or Illion stock.
