I found these numbers on my cam. Trying to ID the engine parts I just bought used. Thanks.

Well from the looks of it, the stock rivets are still on, so my best guess is its a stock cam that had the lobes reground. I don't have any records for reground cams. So far I have only used aftermarket cams. Most stock cams I come across were basically tossed into the trashcan.

Since your cam is a regrind you can get a rough idea of lift by measuring the lobe of the cam. Measure the high spot and subtract the side measurment.

To map duration and get an accurate lift measurment, you need to use a lathe, degree wheel, and dial indicator.
