Default Need help identifying a cam

Was told this cam was a stock ls3 cam but I'm almost certain that ls3 cams were single bolt not 3 bolt like this one. Can anyone help?

that looks just my stock LS7 cam looked like especially with the scan bar print on it. Not sure what cam it is but I do think it's a OEM cam

Cool, thanks for the assist. It's a 3 bolt cam so I'm betting it's not an ls3 cam like I was told

Note that 3 bolt LS3 cams were widely used in the dry sump LS3s by GM.
