I had to look this up in a japanese dictionary so I might be incorrect, but my understanding is:
定量 - fixed amount in a measurement (the example I found specifically used this term to refer to a measurement in chemistry)
定額 - fixed amount in a monetary sense such as an interest rate or a loan payment

Excellent, these are exactly the sorts of very helpful answers I’d hoped for. Thank you so much! 
Usually compounds with 額 in them refer to monetary amounts, not generic amounts of things like 量.
