you cant really tell the diff. between them unless your familiar with each one. You will have to have them measured to see what the profile is on each one that will tell you what is what.

Just looking at it you won't be able to tell the difference but it would probably take a machine to be able to measure the difference.

I believe the part numbers are cast/stamped into the cam somewhere.

Look for these codes:

PR3 - USDM B16/B17
P30 - JDM B16
P72 - GSR
P73 - R

I wish I had my books here with me, then I could tell you the numbers, but by measuring the lobe hight you can tell if its a B16, GsR or Type R, you need a precision micrometer though, not a tape measurer.
