"Shortcut", and the voltage designation should remain.

(for the shortcut/complete files).

(showing my lack of knowledge on pre-9V trains) Was the casing used for multiple
voltages? This thread has only mentioned 4.5V.

As Niels indicated, the 4 x 12 x 3 1/3 versions are openable with a screwdriver, allowing the actual motors to be replaced, so I think the term "Shortcut" is correct. The 4 x 12 x 4 version is glued, so I'll change (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
