Can anyone help ID some Cams?

I have two spare cams that came with my previous '85. I presume one is stock, but I really have no clue what they are. They have VAG markings, but no full P/N. Can anyone help me ID them?

I have a spare that I know is WX..

but I'm not sure how to help you ID it other than a part number.

How about we compare markings.

I'll jot down the numbers and symbols on both of mine, or take some photos. I know there are partial P/Ns on the ones I have (3 digits) plus various other marks.

Found my notes on the cams I have...

They both have VW/Audi logos stamped into them, but no complete P/N. The markings are as follows:

Cam #1:
---035-----(VAG logos)-----417A

-- W
--GERM--------------------MGN3

Cam #2:
-(triangle)---WZO---(VAG logos)---8

---034A-----5008----Germany-----8

The lobes on #2 are visibly sharper (less duration?). 035 corresponds to the first set of the stock cam P/N, and 034 is found on various others.
