Help me identify this cam: pt 2

[MK1Scirocco16v at comcast.net (Dave Ewing)]

The lobes don't look very radical but the numbers look interesting.  Did you
grind the shot peened metal off of the numbers?  I think those type of
numbers come on stock cams too!  I would try to measure the lobes or take it
to a cam shop and have them spec it.  Looks stock to me though but that's
only by looking at the pics!
