> Are they differentiating the samskara and memory of vyaapti-jnanaam?

Yes. vyApti-samskAra is being stated to be enough to give rise to
anumiti-pramA when it is in conjunction with sAdhana-jnAna. There is no
need of vyApti-smriti. VivaraNa-upanyAsa says on page 78
- धूमदर्शन-उद्बुद्ध-संस्कारात्-एव अनुमिति-संभवेन मध्ये
अननुभूयमान-व्याप्ति-स्मृति-कल्पना-अनौचित्यात्-च.

> Vyaapti jnaanam is always established by past experience or samksara, if
they want to call it.

VyApti-jnAna was established in the past by experience. However,
vyApti-jnAna gives rise to a samskAra. That samskAra coupled with
hetu-jnAna gives rise to anumiti-pramA directly without the intermediary of
vyApti-smriti.
