I guess most collectors would think of one thing whichever term was used, but they are two distinctly different items, despite the fact a puggaree has its origins in the pagri. One is an item of headwear, often worn as a symbol of honour, the other an item that accompanies a piece of headgear, both with a lot of meaning behind the colours and number of folds.
I have RAF badges for both the puggaree and the pagri, again, two distinctly different items.
