The two are such separate entities that I'm not sure if they will be really confused.
The Hertiage Protection Register is more a combination of the existing Listed Building descriptions and Scheduled Ancient Monument descriptions than an HER. This will be expanded to be a more useful description of the salient points about a listing or scheduling, so that management is made easier. Things like mangement agreements and conseration plans can be appended.
HERs, which are at present largely a curatorial tool, will remain so. Of course, getting the public to use them is becoming a major focus and will be a requirement.
I believe (although may well be corrected) that the HPR will be held by English Heritage, whereas HERs/SMRs will still be held and maintained by the local authorities.
In this scenario, the funding comes from 2 separate strands - one central gov't (DCMS and ODPM) and one from the counties or equivalent.
