These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
Same muscle (tenderloin); Chateaubriand is the thick centre section, filet mignon is the smaller tail-end medallion.
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.
