Default can anyone id these cams??

hi folks, i've just stripped my broken engine from my s2 and wondered if anyone could id the cam, it is stamped "sx428" and was purchased from power engineering according to history, also the second hand engine i got has a ford cam with "ca" stamped on it, it seems like a re ground cam, any ideas?, cheers in advance, steve
