Right :)

If there is a simple way of detecting whether the code is running from
inside Tails or from outside Tails, then we could have:

inside Tails: 'It is impossible to upgrade the destination device
because it was not created using Tails Installer. You should instead
reinstall Tails on this device using the \"Clone & Install\" action.'

outside Tails: 'It is impossible to upgrade the destination device
because it was not created using Tails Installer. You should instead
reinstall Tails on this device using the \"Install from ISO\" action.'

Otherwise maybe mentioning both (or none) would do:

both: 'It is impossible to upgrade the destination device because it was
not created using Tails Installer. You should instead reinstall Tails on
this device using either the \"Clone & Install\" or the \"Install from
ISO\" action.'

none: 'It is impossible to upgrade the destination device because it was
not created using Tails Installer. You should instead reinstall Tails on
this device.'

I anyway think that the future is to get rid of this screen and this
error message:

https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/bootstrapping/installer#index2h2

But yes, what u mentions will arrive earlier.
