Default vvt cam identification

Picked up a cam from a member of a different forum and I am just trying to identify it. Looks to be a GM cam for a VVT application. Any help would be appreciated

It certainly looks like a VVT cam. Does it have the VVT oil-feed groove on the second bearing journal? The datamatrix laser marking is consistent with a factory cam, but it also looks to have some numbers stamped in that aren't OEM. I don't think the factory cam has that much lift, so perhaps a regrind?

Yes it has the oil feed on the second journal.
