These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
Both cured pork legs; Westfälischer is cold-smoked over juniper/beech, gammon is wet-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.
