Default cam help

Can anyone tell me what these numbers are on the front of the cam. I was told when I bought the car it was an LT4 hot cam. Also there on some scratches on the end of the cam. Will this matter?

I can't see the numbers...what are they?

Another person had the same problem and apparently all hotcam's will have a green stripe and the numbers 586ac on the end of the cam.

5P**14
Couldn't make all of the bottom number out.

If this is a GM hotcam, it will have a light green stripe
on it,and will not just be in the same place all the time in some cases,but it will,and also it will have 586R casting# on the end of the cam.If it does not,then it is not a GM hotcam!
