Default 24v cosworth bob cams

Does anyone know how to tell BOB cams from BOA cams I.e part number/engraving or something?. I had just bought a set and I want to make sure they are BOB ones before I waste my time putting them in

Easy way to tell with one of them is it will have phase sensor lobes on.

I had alook at the cams yesterday and the numbers engraved into them were different to the ounces I am currently running but I didn't write them down so I'll do that today and post them up

How do you identify the phase sensor lobes?

Yes I have they bob timing washers and value springs

Cheers everyone for your help
