Default Markings on Cams for Cosworth

Are there any markings on a cam to help you identify it's standard, BD10 / BD14 or whatever? If so, what are they?

Cheers!!!

Hi,
I don't know if this is any help, but my cams for my 2wd sapphy are marked,
Inlet = LYD4 YN0011, they are 446mm in length, and have a groove around each bearing journal.
Exhaust = LYD2 YN0011 446mm length.

it all depends you can have standard cams reground to what you want. i have bd14/bd15 reground from standard cams which are kent cams and they have the relevant numbers stamped on the non pully end of the camshaft( KCBD14/KCBD15 )
