Both mean the same, but "guajolote" is a way to say "Pavo" in Mexico that is very uncommon to be heard in other countries of latin america

La única diferencia es el orígen de cada palabra.
"Pavo" proviene del latín 'pavus'.
"Guajolote" proviene del náhuatl 'huexólotl'. El náhuatl es una de las lenguas originarias de México.
Las dos palabras se refieren al mismo animal.
En mi experiencia, te puedo decir que de niño escuchaba con mucha más frecuencia "Guajolote" pero con el pasar de los años he notado que cada vez es más usado "Pavo", por ejemplo en los centros comerciales (como Walmart, o de ese tipo) anuncian este producto como "Pavo", y de la misma forma lo hacen las tiendas de carne de menor tamaño, incluso las locales. Solamente en los mercados más tradicionales sigo escuchando que la gente usa "Guajolote" . Yo acostumbro usar cualquiera de las dos palabras pero en la región donde vivo creo que ya es más común usar "Pavo". Eso es lo que yo puedo notar respecto al uso de cada una de las dos palabras. Para mayor referencia vivo en el centro del país.
Ojalá que esto te sirva de ayuda.
