Actually the Gypsy Moth was a DH 60 and the Tiger Moth was a DH 82. Two different aircraft with a common lineage. I believe the DH 82 had a different engine too. But there are more knowledgeable members who could correct me.
Still it is a great film Beana51

The Gypsy Moth and Tiger Moth are absolutely different aircraft... same company, similar origins as said, but different aircraft in many and most regards. Certainly not alternate names for each other. That website seems to be a generic 'idiots guide to' things.. don't expect deep aviation knowledge.
