End credits while playing and Opening Credits, do seem very similar, or at least their descriptions are. 
 
Edit: Plus, some games are attached to both pages.

@Video_Game_King: @mylifeforAiur:  
 
Playable End Credits - Example would be Flower.  You could argue it's its own level in the game.  As you fly through the flowers, the names pop out.  You are directly interacting with the credits themselves.
End Credits While Playing - Example would be Assassin's Creed II.  The credits begin to roll as you play through the last portion of the game.  You don't interact with the credits at all, but they're there as you finish up the game. 
Opening Credits - Example of this would be most films or television shows.  Whether it's during a cutscene or as you begin playing the game, the names of the developers appear on the screen.  This is clearly different than the other two because they're at the beginning of the game, not the end.

I'm guessing the confusion stems from the names. Therefore, Playable End Credits should be changed to Interactive End Credits to make it clearer.
