These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.
Both PGI/PDO European cured hams from the rear leg; Barrancos uses the Iberian-Alentejano black pig with longer ageing, prosciutto uses Italian breeds.
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.
