Anyone know if there is a difference or if Ivra is just a different way to say Ivrit?

No. ivra is the Hebrew vocabulary (נקידות) nothing to do with the language.

In my experience Ivra is reading and pronunciation, while Ivris/Ivrit refers to the language.

"Ivri" is Yiddish for Hebrew. My grandmother used to say Brei-ish, short for Hebrei-ish, from German hebräisch. My father used to say "Ivri."

Generally speaking, where there are both a German-root word and a Hebrew-root word for the same thing, the Hebrew root is more folksy and the German root is more hifalutin. You see the same phenomenon in English with hifalutin Latin roots and folksy Anglo-Saxon roots. Veracity vs. truth, or contain vs. hold, for example.

Ivrit is the Hebrew word for Hebrew in Sephardic pronunciation.
Ivris is the Hebrew word for Hebrew in Ashkenazic pronunciation.

I hear it used in Chassidish Chadarim instead of the word "Kriah". Aleph Bais, Nekudos, reading out words.
