These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
Same cut — the inside/top round of the rear leg. Nalga is the Argentine name; topside is British, coxão mole Brazilian. Same anatomy, different tradition.
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.
