All aftermarket cams should be stamped on one of the ends with a part number directly or indirectly relating to that cam and the company that made it, unless it was something someone machined up in their shed! That's the easiest way to tell really.

Blank cams will have a part number stamped on them, normally on the end, Reground cams dont have this thou so you can only tell by the machining marks

Just take the rocker cover off and have a look, failing that they are usually stamped on the dizzy end so can remove that and take a look, just remember to mark it for the timing.
