Both are often translated into English as bacon.Does English have some differentiation like back bacon or something? I know bekon is meatier and boczek more fatty.

Its' like comparing apples to oranges.there is a big difference in the cut of meat for bacon and back bacon.Bacon is very fatty and back bacon is mostly meat.
