These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
Both PGI European cured hams; Bayonne is air-cured without smoke (French tradition), Westfälischer is cold-smoked (German tradition). Same anatomy, different finishing techniques.
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.
