Externalism:

Sara McClintock does not seem to use the expression “Externalism” but uses “Externalist” for Bahirarthavādin. See McClintock 2010: 86. By implication, one may also use Externalism for Bahirarthavāda. Bimal Matilal is wondering if we should consider “Externalism” instead of “Realism.”  See Matilal 1986: 370.

Internalism:

Sara McClintock does not seem to use the expression “Internalism” but uses “Internalist” for Antarjñeyavādin.
