Default cam identification help

ok, i bought an h22 head and blah blah blah, and when it arrived, UPS had managed to break one of the cams. Now that the claim papers have been issued and whatnot, there is just one thing left... which cam was broken. neither were actually installed in the head, so my question is how do i tell which one is the intake cam and which one is the exhaust cam. i really havent been able to find anything, so any help would be appreciated!

iirc, the exhaust side camshaft is notched for the distributor, the intake side isn't

the left side of each camshaft is the pulley side, depending on the way you look at it...plus i believe this side is threaded...i don't have a set of cams in front of me, so this is all from memory
