I try to propose something. These 3 pieces are somehow flying, at least I see them like this. And I agree with HG, they belong to the special category of compound pieces doing this-then-that. I propose 3 names, not used in other CV (with a small note on one of them), and which start with an initial letter reminding of their parent in the pure riders' world.

Quetzal for (A?B)(D?R)

Raven for (D?R), with another semantic link with the bird rook

Bat for (A?B)

The 3 are fling, different enough to be drawn as recognisable icons easily.

They fit with a family where are already Osprey, Ostrich or Condor, Pegasus, Eagle or Gryphon. (The use of Raven has been reported for RNN but the RNN is better known as Waran or Varan, which put the syllabes in the other order.)

That could be my proposal.
