Need help identifying cam in '68 442 400 c.i. engine

I put this on the Olds Owners facebook page but no luck so far, so the gold star is still out there to who can figure out this camshaft identification mystery!

The 400 c.i. engine in my '68 442 was rebuilt about 10 years ago, so I'm freshening up the seals and popped the cam plug on the back of the engine and found the following stamped numbers:

814840 with a '039 faintly stamped by hand that looks like a date code of maybe 2009

I've searched everywhere and can't figure out the manufacturer or specs.

Someone thought it might be a Crane Cams part number so I called them this morning and no luck even though they have part number records going back 50 years.

Any other resources I should try to identify this cam?

Thanks!

039 could also indicate it was ground for 39 degree lifter bank angle. Google the other number, maybe something will pop up. It could also be a number for the cam blank.
