What is the term of art for on-piece specimens that consist of a cover trimmed to show only the stamp with its postmark? I consider this (whatever the term is) to be a SUBSET of "on piece." For example:

My understanding of "on piece" is that the "piece" can be any size, but not a complete cover or front. So these would just be "on piece".

Agree with Geoff. On piece means on a piece of something and on cover means on a cover. If the there is a section of cover removed that is much smaller than what remains you might say "reduced cover".

"Reduced" is usually just a small amount, generally from opening the envelope. These would just be "on piece", as noted above.

Could these be called "cut-outs" ?

As GeoffHa wrote. This is 'on piece.' If it would have been a full cover, letter sheet, or postcard, it would have been an 'entire.'
