In the OP it does not say "the relative velocity between the source and the emitter"
It says "speed difference", yes. That's just a quibble over terminology. You can go back and make that substitution in all of my posts; it won't change anything of substance.

In the ECI, you can calculate invariant quantities
Sure, but the "speed difference" is not one of them.
