I've heard of it refereed to as a basket weave.
Caning for chair seats have a similar pattern, with a few extra rows.
The original stone guards more closely resembled caning weave (with cross-hatch-on-cross-hatch structure), not basket weave at all.
Supplier and inventor of radiator stone guards for Packards during 1920s-1930s was bicycle fitments company, Persons-Majestic. They also made SOME crystal radiator ornaments that most people today THINK are Lalique (many are not "Lalique). Persons-Majestic also invented and made at least one illumination system for the crystal radiator ornaments.
Somewhere buried in my records is original Persons-Majestic literature.
I don't know if other companies supplied these items as Packard accessories, but Persons-Majestic certainly did.
