Owen (1859: plate V: figs. 3-4) show the same vertebra.
(PDF page 28.)
The caption is:

	TAB. V.
	Streptospondylus major
	Fig.
	1. \
	2. / Cervical vertebra, half natural size
	3. \
	4. / Posterior caudal vertebra (Pelorosaurus ?), one fourth
		natural size.
	From the Wealden on the Isle of Wight. British Museum.

Owen (p. 22) considers them to belong to Streptospondylus major
according to the heading at the top of page 22 ("Streptospondylus
major, Owen. Tab. V, VI") but the subsequent mentions of Tab. V's
figs. 3-4 are confused:

p24: "The neural canal [of a posterior cervical] has the same shape
and relative size as in the more advanced vertebra (Tab. V, figs. 1,
2, 3)", in which I think the inclusion of "3" must just be a mistake.

p25: "In Tab. V, fig. 4, a reduced figure of two of the anterior
(cervical?) vertebrae of the young Iguanodon from Cowleaze Chine, is
reproduced to show the difference in the form; of the angle between
the ridges diverging from the neural spine to the posterior
zygapophyses, and in the form of the ridges themselves, which are much
sharper in Iguanodon than in Strepdospondylus major" -- this is a
mistake, and should refer to Tab. VI.

p34: "Occasionally the haemal arch is found anchylosed to the
posterior of these so confluent hzemapophysial surfaces, as in the
posterior caudal vertebra figured in Tab. V, figs. 3 and 4."  (This is
in the section on Cetiosaurus).
