2 finger index lead = up picking with drop thumb?

I asked this in another thread, but decided to give it a thread of its own.

Is there a difference between 2 finger index lead and what Pete Seeger's book called up picking with drop thumb?

If I take any standard clawhammer tab and use up picking instead of down picking, it's quite readable.  In fact,unless you are told that it's clawhammer, there's no way of telling the difference from the tab.*

Since I never have used the term "2 finger index lead" or "index lead two finger", I'm not sure if there's a difference.

 

* Probably the exception would be a clawhammer tab using the Galax lick, which has always seemed to elude me.
