top and bottom panels
A bit of interpretation going on here.
An imposte is normally a window above a door, and an allège is the short wall beneath a window that does not go down to floor level.
Since BOTH of these are opposed to menuiserie I can only assume that imposte is used to refer to the section of wall ABOVE a window.
Both imply, given that we have ébrasements that these panels are not as thick as the wall on either side, which is particularly the case in traditional construction. These days things tend to be simplified.

Actually you could simplify both and simply refer to "spandrel panels", the spandrel, in modern construction in particular, with curtain walling, being the section between the top of one window and the bottom of the window on the floor above, i.e. at the end of the floor, such that it would correspond to imposte and allège as used here, it would seem.

Surely it's "allèges" instead of "alléges"

lintels and sills
In the case of a door, the top of the door panel is a lintel and in the case of a window, the top panel is lintel and the bottom is the sill.
