I've seen these terms used interchangeably. Are they the same thing?

Cupronickel (also known as copper-nickel) is an alloy of copper that contains nickel and strengthening elements, such as iron and manganese. Despite its high copper content, cupronickel is silver in colour.

Due to the specific properties of nickel and copper alloys, they are applied in various domains of industry e.g. coin and medal minting, armaments manufacture, desalination materials, marine engineering, and extensively used in the chemical, petrochemical and electrical industries

Cupro is sort of the Latin Name for Copper. Which is why in Chemistry you hear names like Cuprus Oxide instead of Copper Oxide.
