Having thought about these pieces I can identify four (relatively) simple long-range pieces of which yours are compounds: (1) Maorider, starting on a Wazir step and ending on a Ferz one; (2) Moarider, the other way round; (3) Waverer, starting AND ending on Wazir steps; (4) Feverer, starting AND ending on Ferz steps. The first two long-range pieces on this page are (1)+(3), starting on a Wazir step and ending on either, and (2)+(4), starting on a Ferz step and ending on either. The third combines of all four. Other possible compounds are (1)+(2), the Moorider; (1)+(4), the Reverse Rhino, starting on either step and ending on a Wazir step; (2)+(3), the Reverse Mirror Rhino, starting on either step and ending on a Ferz step; and (3)+(4), the Unhorser, starting on either step and ending on the same.
