Default Factory cam casting numbers?

Howdy all, don't know if I have ever posted here so if this is in the wrong section please let me know.
I am working on a 1996 2500 4x4 5.9 gas.
My question is, I have two stock camshafts sitting in my garage and I'm not sure which one is for a 5.2 magnum or a 5.9. I've been searching but I can not find any info on the casting numbers that I see on them.

One says 0226 and 33 near rhe distributor gear and the other says 3405 and 32. Both say ABX and 511 on the other end.
Do these casting numbers mean anything? Is there a place I can look them up or some tech line I could call?
Any insight will be greatly appreciated!

I was planning on running the 5.2 cam and some 1.7 rockers but I was givin the cam so long ago I can't remember which one is for the 5.2. I hate getting old!
Why is it so hard to find info on these cams? There is a boat load of info on chevy stuff.....frustrating...

The 5.2 has a bit more lift, May want to measure the lobes.

Thanks, most of my tools are in storage so I don't really have anything to measure them accurately.
I was really hoping someone would know something about the casting numbers.
Think maybe a machine shop would know?
Does mopar still have a tech line?
