In spirit of TREBUCHET, Underwood in 1877 US Patent #186,181 calls the orthogonal three-square leaper 'Cavalry', and Michael King in 1995 US Patent #5484157 calls it 'Large Tank'. This article fails to name 'Knight-Trebuchet' compound. That one should be the most useful, being colour-changing for counterbalance with colour-bound CAMERZ(Camel+Ferz).
