I've seen them listed as "UK Mini Lobby cards", "Mini Lobby cards", UK stills and usually FOH stills as mentioned. re photo Vs litho, I would assume Phil means these cards are printed, (using photographic images) rather than exposed/processed, the way photographs are. Not surprising that theres a UK Clockwork orange set, knowing what Kubrick was like in regards to "quality control".
