Default Cam lobe wear, is this normal?

I picked up these used ITR cams and noticed that the angles on a couple of the lobes were more pronounced than others. Is this just wear? Is it normal wear? Is it "safe" to use these cams in my race car (which now has the OEM b16a1 cams)? I drew a picture because I can't properly demonstrate with a photo. The "points" on the right one are what I'm describing (I don't have the cams in front of me, the profile of the lobes is fictional). Thanks.

Vince - try posting this on the HADA site (in the Ask HADA forum specifically). I'm pretty sure Dave, Moose or Hanif can answer your question
