They are completely different.

WWM is concrete reinforcement and is not galvanized.

Lath is a plaster component. There's wire lath and expanded metal lath.

Wire lath is usually used on walls and metal lath on ceilings.

Though irrelevant to the test, concrete reinforcing can be galvanized for increased durability particularly in harsh environments.

It can also be epoxy coated for extreme conditions.
