This is what the Museum Store Association says:
Mark-on: Differences between cost price as billed (before cash
discounts) and retail price at which goods are sold (sometimes
incorrectly referred to as mark-up).
Mark-up: Upward revision of initial mark-on resulting in
higher-than-original selling price. Sometime incorrectly confused with
mark-on.
My thanks to the MSA.
