One in the same my friend. To my knowledge at least. To put it simply there is really only to types of leading edge airfoils. Slots and Slats. Slots are permanently fixed for low speed high lift aircraft that specialize in VSTOL for example. Slats are what we find on our beloved warbirds respectively. Nowadays some of the modern jet airliners have slats controlled from the cockpit and even still I think that is more of a on/off thing.
