These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
Both PGI European cured hams from southwestern Europe; Bayonne uses the Adour basin and standard breeds, Barrancos uses the Alentejo and Iberian black pig.
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.
