Is there any name in use distinguishing old H/V from currently typical H/V?

Or is simply "classic" being used?

It would be nice to avoid problem in say in 15 years

Ending with  "classic" value being used for shape not used at all anymore
and new "classic" shape being tagged somehow, but not as "classic" value
