That is a bit confusing to vocalists, because tenor and baritone are different ranges. (This is the same tradition in which we called the smaller, Eb instrument an alto horn.)
But in England they use tenor horn more like the vocal tradition. It is the Eb instrument. Baritone is the Bb instrument (as is euphonium).
I see the bore size listed around .460 or so on some of the instruments. Curious if baritone players cross over to Tenor horn. The mouthpiece looks significantly smaller so maybe Flugel players cross over? Thanks for the reply.
