I consider them one and the same. Never knew people viewed them as fundamentally different.

That seems to be muddling several issues. You didn't say that the "Communists" won or the "North Vietnamese" won; you said the "insurgents" won, implying the guerilla irregulars of the south, the Vietcong, won the war. That is simply incorrect. The North Vietnamese won the war with a conventional army, the NVA, fighting a conventional war, backed by the USSR after the USA stopped funding the conventional army of the South, and they didn't do it until 1975, fully two years after the Americans had withdrawn.
