These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
Both are whole-along-bone slow-cooked beef ribs from the chest/plate region. Plate ribs is the Texas-BBQ-tradition smoke-for-12-hours version; costela ponta de agulha is the Brazilian-churrasco vertical-fire-grill version with more cartilage. Different cooking traditions, very similar cut.
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.
