Default Type-R Cam identification

Ok guys, i checked this link that is posted in a sticky in this forum and I cannot 100% identify my intake cam shaft.
http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/temp/VtecCams.htm

It looks very similar to the 92-93 b17 profile, but it has one major difference. If you look at that link the B17 intake camshaft has two rings on the ring just before you get to the dizzy key slot, signifying that it is the b17 cam. ON MY INTAKE cam shaft, I have exactly the first two engravings (on the ring) and then on the dizzy key slot, there is one extra ring. I was told this is a ITR intake cam, but im trying to determine for sure. Here is CRAPPY pic, but im pretty sure you can make it out.

I mean its pretty obvious that the pic you showed of "your" cam? is definately the same as mine, Just wasnt sure as the link with the cam identification does not have a pic of the 96+ GSR. Any more input? Thanks a lot guys.

popular craigslist scam right here. same with rotas packing volk stickers. i have never came across more dishonest parts sellers than i have with hondas. this stuff doesn't happen often with vettes, wrx's, mustangs, rx7's or 300zx's. i have no idea why the honda world attracts so many dishonest folks
