That's just naming. As I said, the names are all over the place.
Assistant Professor in the US is a temp teaching-and-research.
Reader in the UK is a junior teaching-and-research. The US equivalent would be Associate Professor.
Either can run their own courses, that's completely irrelevant. What distinguishes a temp and a junior is that the latter is a permanent position.
I am presenting an abstract model, of course each little system has its own little details, which in the bigger picture, don't mean much.
You'll see for example than in the traditional UK system, you effectively promote from mostly-teaching to less teaching based on your research accomplishments. That's consistent with the model I presented.
