These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
The same top-sirloin/rump region. Alcatra is the Brazilian–Portuguese name; sirloin (top sirloin) the US–UK one. Same primal, different tradition.
These are near equivalents in the way butchers and cooks use them. If you can source either one, you're very close to the same result.
