Good response! 
The two are similar... I think with dramatic play children need and use the props as is, such as a play kitchen for cooking, dolls for being mummies, doctors kit for playing doctors etc but for imaginative play they don't need to play with props as they are. For e.g a block can be used as a phone and they just use their imagination...
