Thanks for clarifications Mike.  Please forgive honest error on my part.  

Starting point was the minimal documentation about E#, all of which only
referred to "chapter" or "heading".

1. Current online help documentation for E# [1]:

Chapter number (E#)
Inserts the chapter number. To assign chapter numbering to a heading style,
choose Tools - Chapter Numbering.

2. Writer's Guide 7.3 (p. 336)

The E# icon represents the “chapter number”, which means the heading number
value assigned to a heading style in Tools > Chapter Numbering, not just for
chapters but also for other levels of headings.

3.  AOO explanation in comment 3

4. LibreOffice Developer's Guide: Chapter 7 - Text Documents [2]

"TokenEntryNumber" The number of an entry. This is only supported in tables of
content and it marks the appearance of the chapter number.


In light of this new information, I would propose:

"Numbering" (and "N") as the widget labels.

(iiuc, heading numbers and list numbers are numbering sources here.  Just as
Chapter No./Heading No. was trying to point to the "source", "Numbering" also
points to the source, while "Entry" is the "result" of selections/options in
the Type tab.  Also removes the visual clash/confusion between E# and #. )

But @Mike, two new questions for documentation. 

1. afaict, the "level" option in the Entries tab, shown when E# is selected in
the Structure option, has no effect for entries that come ordered lists.  Is
that right?  (in which case I can mention it in the documentation).  This is
also relevant for the next question.

2. The label on that option was changed recently from "Evaluate up to level" to
"Show up to level".  Perhaps the current tooltip (and extended tip) are still
valid, but, depending on answer to previous question, could add mention that
level only applies to heading numbers.
