Gun Digest 1990 says that the 715/C7 look-a-like model was called the "AR-15 A2 Sporter II". It's basically a budget version of the A2 model - by subtracting the A2-style rear sight, it was sold for $70 less than the regular A2 model, and $120 less than the HBAR. There were also corresponding Carbine models.
Also, the other models are called, "AR-15 A2 Government Model" (the M16A2 look-a-alike) and "AR-15 A2 Government Model HBAR" (same gun with the match-grade barrel).
