@Bluetoes: IMO, heraldic diapering is that sort of frilly, semi-floral background patterning seen on the silver shield in the first example. The rectangular patterned background is something else - I think.
The patterns you've highlighted, if we borrow some heraldic terminology, might be called quatrefoils - four-petal vaguely flower-like designs. See VMs f67v1.
The origins predate the VMs.
