I wouldn't say they are synonyms. Self-perception is an attitude which develops about oneself based on one's surroundings, peers, self-esteem and what not. Proprioception is the awareness of the body without one being mentally aware of it.
I think one may affect the other—probably self-perception affecting proprioception, ie, let's assume I have a totally messed up perception of my image and I think my left eye is smaller than my right. This self-perception could impair my proprioception in that I have this gnawing feeling that my two eyes feel different from each other. (Just imagining this example is making me aware of my eyes, the movement of my eyeballs and my frequency of blinking. So annoying.) That's proprioception: feeling things you normally are not aware of in relation to your body—phantom limb is a good example in Wikipedia—or becoming aware of involuntary actions of your body. In self-perception you are also aware of things that may or may not exist, but you develop an attitude or opinion about them and voluntarily act on them.
The body-emotion-difference question you've asked twice... You can read my post and see if you can find your answer.
