These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
Both cured European pork legs, but Bayonne is dry-cured and air-aged for raw consumption, while gammon is brined for cooked consumption.
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.
