agree  Tony M: I think your suggested term is correct, although oddly, your description is wrong — what you describe is the 'nib' of a tile.

The dimensions of the tile shall be the mean of measurements taken at the following locations, rounded to the nearest millimetre:
(a) Exposed width: head, nose an across the mid-point of the tile (Figure 1).
(b) Length: each side and along the centre of the tile.
(c) Thickness: the centre of the tile at the mid-point (excluding lugs or brand imprints) and at the head and nose.
Figure 2 shows the general used terms for roof tiles.
