Well here in Oz, the two types are mostly different in sugar
content and "other" (water?). According to the compositions of the
Carnation formulations [best viewed in fixed font such as Courier]:

Protein Fat (Total) Sugar Balance
Evaporated milk (g/100ml)

"Light & Creamy" 8.4 1.6 11.6 78.4
"Creamy" 8.4 8.6 11.6 71.4

Condensed milk (g/100g)

Carnation Sweetened 8.5 8.1 55 28.4

Incidentally, the "Light and Creamy" claims to be "98.5% Fat Free",
which may be right based on wt/wt if the S.G. is about 1.07. ;-)

Cheers, Phred.
