There's overlap, certainly. Some of the Hands, especially the earliest Persian ones, were scholars, and the good use to which they put their knowledge may have been part of the reason they were called Hands of the Cause; and some of the most knowledgeable Bahais - who used their knowledge to serve the friends - were appointed Hands, and some were not.
