Well, I'm not sure about "prosciutto, but we had a discussion here
a while back where Adamantius commented that it is only today that
"ham" means pork to most folks. That at one time other types of
animals were included. So if "prosciutto" has a similar meaning
perhaps that is why there might actually be different animals used
in different prosciuttos.

I think you can find some info on this in this file:
