Measure lift and timing and compare against manufacturer specs of the cam you thought it was.

^^^ yep. not that hard to do.

I've done this with a rv8 cam. get piece of wood, nail two pairs of nails at 45 degrees to form a V to rest the bearing on - this is good enough stand. Then make a steel bracket for the dial guage and off you go!!

Not perfect but would show the lift and the timing to within a couple of degrees that maybe enough to identify it.

It is a good excerice as you get to see how precise the lobes are ground.
