Why do some sources speak of the Sahasrara chakra and others of Saharara padma?

Question

Some sources seem to use the term Saharara padma instead of Sahasrara chakra? Why do say do so? Do different traditions see the concept differently?

Sahasrara = 1000

Padma = Lotus

Sahasrara Chakra = Chakra with 1000 (Petals)

Sahasrara Padma = (Chakra) with 1000 Lotus Petals.

They are actually same thing.
