In my (very limited) experience, small companies that separate out SRE and devops are a bad smell when it comes to type of work. It ends up being something like:

Devops: Someone who is oncall for fixing all pipelines and making sure everyone has access/credentials for various services (AWS, git, etc). Maybe if they have time they can start to teraform things.

SRE: Someone who is just oncall for everything and doesn't have time to improve things

On the other hand when a job listing is not specific but mentions SRE/Devops, they seem to be looking for someone who can build new systems to make things better, rather than just keeping the lights on.
