Turkeyman,
I would use a brown sugar cure from one of the online catalogs such as Butcher Packer. If you plan to make ham you will need a needle to pump it and a container and refrigeration space to have it soak in a brine for at least a week.
You do have more options though,
One Option: You could bone it out and do a number of things with the 3 individual muscles. You could cure each piece at this point and make a variation of canadian bacon in which case HighMountain buckboard bacon cure would work fine. The reasoning behind this is, if you bone out both hams, you could cure say 1/3 of the total to save space and to give you 2 more opportunities to adjust recipes etc.
Option 2: You could talk to your local butcher and see if they will save you some pork fat and grind everything or some of it and make your favorite sausage.
Most homes are not set up to cure a whole ham much less 2 for a week or two.
