Those are both twin screws I believe. Roots is the blower style on the older carbed cars where the blower sticks out the hood usually lol

they are both positive displacement blowers. thats about all they share together.
edit: after reading the above link to see if i could add anything to it... nope no point it pretty much covers it.
eaton = roots blower
