And then you have the "saltpastiller", which still are diamond-shaped

Thanks to everyone, and to Susanne and Larry STI for immediate answers. Hurtig hjælp er dobbelt hjælp!

I chose lozenge because it could also be used in more literal senses, as it was not 100% clear what the client meant, and they did not answer.

Both lozenge and diamond exist in typography - the lozenge is said to have become widespread in England with the printing of the Book of Common Prayer.
The lozenge is an outline figure, while the diamond is solid.

I have to admit that I still haven't found the pastille in Danish, but I think I have seen it in print somewhere - I'll keep searching!
(I worked for a while as a proof reader at a printer's many years ago...)
And as a child was given blackcurrant pastilles if I had a sore throat, or Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles when I deserved them... Those were the days :-)

Ernst (DE-EN) suggests "lozenge" - I'm not sure about the usage in this context, though, but I thougt you might want to have a closer look at it...
