Hello there! What is the difference between pain aux raisins and Chelsea Buns?

pain raisin are usually made from croiss dough with pastry cream and raisin .

Chelsea buns are more of a sweet dough without lamination , raisins and cinnamon sugar filled.

Pain raisin are more involved to make unless you have croiss dough and pastry cream sitting around.

Thank you, retired baker. I also see that pain aux raisins are baked individually while Chelsea Buns are not. Am I right?
