Russian terms for TOMB STONE, FLAP LID?

are tomb stone and flap lid purely Western coinages like SA-X-21, the NATO provisional designation for the chimerical S-400, or are there Russian original terms for these radars?

TOMB STONE, FLAP LID, SA-X-21, SA-6, SQUARE PAIR, FLASH DANCE…the list goes on. Yes, all of those are US/NATO/ASCC concoctions.

In Russian service FLAP LID is either 5N63 or 30N6, TOMB STONE is 30N6-1/30N6E1 or 30N6-2/30N6E2.
