release samples/release sample parts
This might depend which manufacturer you are translating for, but if it's VW or Audi then the above are definitely correct.
You could also use "C samples" or "C sample parts" - this would be widely understood within the industry - but VW specify that the spelt out version must be used in their official translations to English (although this rule isn't always followed).
For reference:
A-Muster = concept sample
B-Muster = procurement sample
C-Muster = release sample
D-Muster = production sample

C samples
These are the third round of samples submitted for approval. (First are A, then B, then C ...)
There is some definition of exactly what characteristics these need to have, such as being made on production tooling, having a certain percentage of final production components, etc. This can vary by auto manufacturer; I don't believe there is a standard definition of "C" samples.
