1) You want to know the mfr.
2) You said above it's a Comp grind.
3) GUESS WHAT??? COMP MANUFACTURED IT!! They would know.
Any confusion is from statements 1) and 2) from you.

i called comp cams. they dont know who had the cam ground by those serial number. they have no record of it on file. i would like to know what company had it ground to their specs. and for what purpose was the cam intended for. n/a, stroker, turbo, supercharger. ect. ect. so no confusion here..

Idk why comp could not help:

13158r is 226@050 and .605 lift on 1.7 rockers,
13037r is 227@050 and .598!lift on 1.7 rockers.

Its a weird spec. My guess is a turbo spec, but that is a pure guess.

Definitely not cam motion. The others, not sure. But I would bet there are better options.
