Name the connection!

I'm wiring an early loom and the ignition switch uses three of these rectangular connectors rather than a spade connector. I bought these recently but they're just very slightly large, so while I can trim them, or use as is, I might just look for slightly smaller if I know the proper name. The curved ones are close but also too large, by a fraction, so I'm looking for the ones on the left in a smaller size. Does anyone know if they have a proper, individual name so that I can narrow the search?

They look like a variant of "side entry" fork terminal, but I'm also not finding any.

Eylet terminals Colin, this chap has a few. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Classic-Car-Electrical-Wiring-Eyelet-Terminal-Connector-x-6/113715785577?hash=item1a79fd2f69:g:HagAAOSw4PxZ8LpT

No he doesn't. I have them.

(That listing is the actual one I bought; I bought the rounded versions from him too and I don't think he has any others but he was a pleasure to deal with)

The original Stanpart / Lucas versions were smaller and if I'm correct they fitted down into the slots on the rear of the ignition switch so they were isolated; these will sit on top and might do at that as they're all very widely spaced and won't short out; I trimmed one using a fine grinder and by the time it sat into the slot the metal arms were very thin. I can adapt modern versions but there's no fun in that.

I remembered what they were called Colin (my brother used to sell them) but those were the only ones i could find..... You can tell i'm getting bored with lockdown already  I think i will take a leaf out of your book next weekend.
