Mexico

Aguja norteñaapproximate

Adjacent chuck cut — aguja is the chuck eye (more like a single muscle), diezmillo is the 3-muscle chuck-roll group around it. Both are northern-Mexican carne asada staples.

France

Same primal — paleron (paleta) is the broader shoulder cap, diezmillo is the chuck-roll subset. Sometimes conflated as 'paleta' in central Mexico but distinct at northern butcher counters.

United States

Denver steakapproximate

Same anatomical zone — Denver steak is the modern US butcher cut from the chuck-roll inner muscle, diezmillo is the broader Mexican-tradition cut from the same general area.
