These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
Both European cured-and-smoked pork bellies — French lard fumé and German Bauchspeck use different aromatics in the cure (Bauchspeck favours juniper and caraway) but share the cold-smoke-over-hardwood technique. Parallel charcuterie traditions.
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.
