In UK usually Chartered means pinnacle of the professional designation.
As such the public perception that other then Chartered professional is less or lower in standing.
Take Accountant and Chartered Account and both are accountants yet the CA is considered with higher authority or the final authority etc.
I will argue that perception of the the CEng is not equal to IEng and it is higher in professional standing.
It requires additional competencies and levels of responsibility.
IEng is impressive UK SPEC requirements yet its is short of CEng not only different.
As to practical skills and experiences its on case by case basis. In reality employers don't limit ones progress by a type of registration and it can be found that someone
who is registered as IEng or unregistered is performing more advanced duties then a CEng.
