American Rumba 5 Position Break vs Crossover Back Break

I was having a discussion with a friend and we appeared to be calling the same pattern by two different names. Wanting to enlighten myself I looked at the American Rumba 5 Position Break and Crossover Back Break. I am not picking up on what makes the two different. Both videos show the dancers taking back steps, in my opinion larger that a 5th position foot placement, the both charts describe the back step footwork as Ball-Heal. What am I missing ?
