uPVC window sill?

Can somebody identify what type of sill this window has at the bottom? Normally most windows have a board type sill but this does not.






I was told it was a stub sill but looking at Google these appear to look different. They look like this;



Any ideas?

Thank you

    It looks like a stub cill to me. The brickwork might not have much of a fall on it, and is tucking up near the drip, which  can't be seen as sealant has been put into the gap.

    Thanks. Is this a specific type of stub sill? I ask as i cant find any others like on Google. It is 50mm in height.
  • they appear to be 2 different cills from the pics . stub cills are normally 85mm deep and 30mm high . The one on the casement seems bigger than the one on the flush fit . edit ive just read the bit above the flush fit . On the first pic it may have a 45mm flat glued onto the front edge . Just possibly a normal stubby behind it
