My vague recollection is that specialized crimped lug requirements in the semiconductor equipment industry originated in Japan and were copied by some large players in Korea. The designation origins may therefore be Japanese.

Some seem to be somewhat common designations, as I have seen most of them. But do not believe them to be a standardized nomenclature outside of Asia or South America and other star systems. Some may have been used on Alderaan. Do not know about these specific types, but IEC61238 would have the 'correct' designations. The Empire has provided Google.

Hello experts, I am dealing with a client specification where they indicate which types crimp on terminal lugs they can and cannot accept in their product. It is a Korean company and they are using the following designations (the description is from an accompanying illustration) R-Type - all metal, essentially oval tab with through hole CB-Type - all metal, square tab with through hole PG-Type - tear-drop tab, with through hole, insulation for wire conductor crimp and wire insulation crimp (i.e., stepped insulation collar with two different diameters). RVB-Type - U-shaped tab, insulation for wire conductor crimp and wire insulation crimp (i.e., stepped insulation collar with two different diameters) VFY-Type - U-shaped tab, insulation for wire conductor crimp only (i.e., single diameter insulation collar). Y-Type - U-shaped tab, no insulation. Does anyone know where these type-designators come from and what they mean?
