#1 Wood terminology.

HELP.
I'm trying to mend my boundary fence in the back garden. The cross rails that the feather edge board nails to are, I believe, called cant rails.
I've found a supplier not too far away, and the picture looks exactly right, but I'm confused by the terminology.
They are called "Treated Cant Rails (Ex 47 x 125mm)".What is Ex ?
So, what I want is 47mm thick, but the back dimension is 64mm and the front 52mm, with the top sloping.
Where does the 125mm come in ?
