Having sorted that little confusion out, the answer is that they are not the same - but they are related.
YTM is a average annual percentage return on the Bond from the date of purchase until the date of maturity. It is thus obviously expressed in ' % pa '
GRY is the total returned from the investment in the Bond - including both investment return over the term and capital returned on Bond maturity. It is thus expressed in '£' (or $, or indeed any other dealing currency).
