The left one is a modular padlock, and the one in the middle is an
integrated padlock. According to one of my friends who is a native
en_GB speaker. Not shure if this helps, though. I guess most languages
simply use "padlock" for both types. Haengeschloss in German,
hengelås in NO, hänglås (SE), hængelås (DK)..
