I have always called anything that held bullets that is not permanently attached to the gun (or at least detached without removing a screw) a clip for years. I still refer to detachable magazines as clips, because to me they are attachable automatic feeding clips. So to me the terms are pretty much interchangeable. I am 53 I am not going to change now.
Now TO AVOID CONFUSION. For my AR15 the metal thingy that holds a string of 10 bullets is a clip and I put that against a magazine,and push the bullets into the magazine from the clip..
