Geo, geometry, angles, alignment.
I believe that's what he's getting at based on the rest of the original post. Ain't heard of it referred to like that before though

Nothing related to suspension geometry changed over the years.

The suspension geometry did not change.

The reference to toe and camber seems like more of a correction to a typo than a change to recommended alignment settings. Camber aka Chamber should not be positive, i.e. 0.6, it should be negative, i.e. -0.6. Also, you would never have 51mm of toe in. That's almost 2"! 0.6-0.12 degrees of toe in is normal for toe. That's a couple of mm. So, again, looks more like a correction to a typo.
