Default Identifying exhaust/inlet cams Cosworth 3dr

I need to find out the differance between exhaust & inlet cams before i refit them, the cams are standard Ford items, Does LYD 2 & LYD 3 mean anything ? as this is cast into either cam,
Any help is appreciated

You are right. Inlet cams have those grooves. They are the same in 4x4, 4x2 and RS
