The easiest way is look at the center cam bearing journal you will see an X grove shape made by grinding the grove radiates outward from the center of the journal. This grove allowed for additional oil to flow between the block and cam. The rear cam bearing journal will also have a similar ground X pattern in the bearing surface. And as Andy posted above the entire cam is machined so it shows none of the typical casting lines.
