Take a caliper and measure the cam lobe from the base to the tallest point on the lobe and multiply by 1.5...

That will give a bit more of a clue as to which cam it might be...if it has no stamp on the nose (ultradyne, comp and a few other places give grind information there...), otherwise you need to mock it into a block with a crank and degree wheel to map it...
