The Databook does not differentiate, but his biju cloak is something to use on top of his augmented sage powers. As for this whole argument about them losing the chakra. I'm going to prove this wrong once and for all. Nope. Chakra gifts are temporary. Just like Gaara still retained his Shukaku powers (control over sand and all that), Naruto and Sasuke retained their respective permanent unlocks. They just don't have Hagoromo's power anymore, which would've been roughly half the Ten Tail's power plus half his own considerable chakra per person. Naruto retains Kurama plus a "jinchuriki mark" that allows him to pull out Biju chakra like he was a jinchuriki, hence why he's called a Jinchuriki of all beasts. Considering his remote chakra donation, he likely can call upon the Biju's chakra at will (range limits may apply). Considering he lost his Truthseeking Balls and no longer seems to levitate (still have to see Boruto The Movie), that seems to be among his lost powers. Sasuke's power levels dropped considerably too (i believe Boruto the novel states he can use ~40), probably to around what he had before Hagoromo's chakra gift (again, about half the Ten Tail's power) which was still considerable.

So in short, Naruto and Sasuke's power has decreased, but is still immense and above pre-hagoromo levels.

I do agree that his Six Paths Sage Mode cloak is now drawing only from kurama, which is why it has the underbody but not the full appearance.
