I suppose it's possible to split hairs, but a book I have entitled "Les Armes de Chasses a Canon Lisse" (Smooth Bore Hunting Guns) states that there are 3 types of stock currently being made: Pistol, semi-pistol, and English or straight. I'd describe that one as "une crosse droite (ou anglaise)",spelling and pronunciation relatively simple if you speak French.
Looking through the Darne material I have, both from Bruchet and a former American importer doing business as The Drumming Stump with which Ted is quite familiar
seem to list only two stock options: Crosse anglaise ou demi-pistolet.
