PS Luxury Navy Flake in a Stanwell Brushed Brown Dublin.
I have vowed to smoke my Meerschaum more often. So far today is Orlik Golden Sliced and SG FVF. I found my sample of Stonehaven, which I may also smoke today. The camera doesn't catch the color well. The coloring on the stem is a light brown, on the bowl (especially at the rim) is a orange/ pink.

​What's the difference in a bent Bulldog and a Rhodesian ? Inquiring minds ... . Great Pipes Kilroy , and cool stands !!! Love the Rests , too !
The only difference is the shank - a Rhodesian's is round, a bulldog's is diamond-shaped.
I was serious , and sort of got myself confused on that one . Do Bulldogs have diamond shanks and Rhodesians have round ? If so I have a James Upshall Bulldog with a twisted shank Free Hand , Hand Made . Lovats have saddle bits , Liverpools have tapered bits ? Opinion I guess .

There's a great difference of opinions about rhodesians and bulldogs. I generally fall where Price does--Bulldogs have diamond shanks and rhodesians have round shanks. Under that nomenclature, from the chart you posted I would classify the bullcap as a bulldog (or maybe a squat bulldog), the rhodesian prince as just a rhodesian, the bent rhodesian as a bent bulldog.
Now, it gets tricky sometimes because different makers have different takes on these shapes. For instance, if the pipe has a round bowl, I tend to think of that pipe as a rhodesian, even if it has a diamond shank, because to me a bulldog can't have a round bowl. Others would disagree. Also, some folks would say a bulldog is only ever a straight pipe. I disagree with that.

That's always been my understanding.
I thought lovats were distinguished from Canadians by the saddle stem instead of tapered, and lumberman/Liverpool shared the same distinction, but with an oval shank in stead of round.
Whatever - the most important thing is: smoke what you like. Who cares what they call it?
I'm sure I knew , but forgot ... I checked , yep my Lumbermen have oval shanks . I thought I knew , Lovats have saddle bits (that's my main distinction), maybe shorter shanks by a bit , too , not much . I never thought of a prince as a tomato ... either . Then there's the shape of the Heel ... . O boy .

I subscribe to the diamond/round shank division for bulldogs and Rhodesians. It's the simplest definition, in my opinion. As for Canadians and such, I believe the Canadian has an oval shank and tapered stem, and the Lovat has a round shank and saddle stem. The lumberman and Liverpool I get mixed up, but without Google I'm inclined to group them geographically, with the lumberman a saddle-stemmed Canadian, and the Liverpool a tapered-stemmed Lovat.
