When I was growing up on my Grandfather's farm we had many pails and buckets laying around. Pails were containers with larger bases than top openings (an upside down bucket) for carrying water and milk. Buckets were used to carry everything else. I don't think anyone makes pails anymore, since carrying water and milk are no longer a big part of farm life. No one confused a pail and a bucket where I grew up.
The only difference is which end the bottom is on --the small end (bucket) or the large end (pail). Now it's settled.
