Probably some sort of flange or strap but I can't tell which is more apt.

companion flange/backflange/movable coupling
Explanation:
It would depend what exactly the "contre-bride" is used for.

A companion flange is a flange that will connect to another flange, that is, one half of a pair of flanges.

A backflange is more or less the same as above.

A movable coupling is a "bride mobile" - the name says it all.

There may be other possibilities but some clarifications would be needed to find the right term. In any case, the address below leads to a reference in which "contre-bride" is called a companion flange, but I cannot be sure if that document uses the "contre-bride" in a similar application as yours.

Thanks for your help, as you say, in these instances it's very difficult to reach a satisfactory translation without having a clear idea of the purpose the flange is being used for. I have opted for junction flange, as it is suitably vague, but I think companion flange is just as good. Thanks again.
