Jim gave the valve timings (which is the only difference I'm aware of).
ISTR the Crane Cams website gives instructions on how to 'degree' a cam,
which is what it will take to distinguish such small changes in timing. (BL
no doubt had some way of marking them, but I don't know what it was, and who
knows if those are original cams anyway.) You'll also need a degree wheel
and a dial indicator; plus something to hold the cam while you turn it and a
lifter to ride the cam. Easiest way to get these last two items is to
install the cam in the block.
You'll probably have to measure them both & compare the results. When it
comes to cams, it's sometimes tough to relate actual measurements to 'book'
figures.
