Anyone know what this type of brick is called?

Hi all,
I've just had an extension built. I rescued the "slopey" bricks from the old window sill with a view to reinstating them under the window of the extension. I cleaned them all up and put them in a pile but, unfortunately, my over-zealous gardener - on the scout for in-fill, has smashed them up and buried them :-)

There was one left but I'm not sure what I should be "Googling" to find replacements?

Anyone brick experts got any ideas?

Thanks :-)

Ibstock and some other big brick suppliers have the cill cants that you need, they come wirh throatings whichare needed in a projecting cill.
You can cut your own throatings with a small angle grinder.

what you show in the pic is a mess - pull the corner cants, now tape all the arrises before you lay the new bricks in fresh mortar - when the mortar has set a bit and been struck then remove the tape.

Even better is to get the proper corner return brick.
