MS refers to it as "Miter Stop Plunger." I like plunger for short. ;)

Caution! If you get to the point of starting alignment checks or (OH NO!) alignment "corrections" between extension/ auxiliary and main tables etc., pause and think about it. Some of the old tables are NOT of equal dimensions. The possible variances are too many and too weird to go into here.
From what you've said, tho, I'm guessing yours are ok.
