Cam ID: 5-T?

Hello. I have a cam here and stamped on the end is 5-T.
Could this be a well known marking or will it remain a mystery?
If the 5-T marking rings any bells please let me know.
It is a 59A type.
Thanks in advance.
Mart.

I think 59 A cams all had 5T stamped on them.

Yep most of the 59a cams have 5T stamped on them. And the consensus is that the 5T is NOT a direct reference to a truck cam as I had queried this in the past.

Yes very common. I have found that many prewar engines had them. Pilots also.
