identify cam

Long story short, I got a new LA 360 crate motor from a guy that took it in on a car trade. Cam and lifters were new as well, but he didn't know the size. I pulled the cam, and what I found is on the end it was stamped H 260. Also, it had purplish - pinkish paint between the lobes on the end of cam (last couple of lobes). The cam is black. I was thinking Competition, however, it could be a Crane. Is there a positive brand that used the paint, besides the purple shaft MP? Also, the "6" in the H 260 was not stamped very well and is a chance it could be an "8", making it an H 280. It's in the engine already, so no pictures. Once I start it, the idle should be clear if it's the 260 or 280. I really believe it was stamped H 260 though.....
