These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
Both cured pork legs (same anatomical primal); ibérico is dry-cured for raw consumption, gammon is brine-cured 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.
