Identifying factory camshafts

Okay, I've got a bunch of sets of camshafts and cam pulleys lying around and I want to be able to identify what they came out of and therefore the specifications.
I have e39a Galant, apparently VR4 ones and who knows what the others are from.
Are there codes or marks to identify what they are?
None have the CAS trigger on the cam pulley so that rules out RVRs and the like...

I've made an .xls-file with some cam-data stored on the MCS-forum, if it's of any help?
Partley in Swedish, byt I think you'll get it anyway...
(I DON'T guarantie any of it is correct though!!! Have't measured any cams, just taken data of manuals and so on...)

Thanks fugazi, I don't know what A through G are for.

Also, what are these words in English?

Nock i mm.

Insug nock i mm=intake lobeheight (basecircle+lobe) in mm.
Avgas=exhaust

Hope you can use it!
A-G should be marked in the ends of the cams...
Didn't bother to put in what they came from/what vehicle.

Does it matter?
A lot of them comes from the 2.0 galant and various countries/models... some onley from the 1.6 colt GTi...
It would probabley take me a week or 2... looking through manuals and several forums... not especialy happy about that... :wink:
